Thanks for the patch, though I already have a commit with the same changes laying around [1], I have been unsure when to apply it. I guess the time is nearing. As for the backporting, I at least have no intention of backporting this package. Upstream has talked about a new release 'soon', I intend to include this change at the same time. Regardless of the new release, it will be uploaded by the end of this year at the latest. Håvard [1] https://salsa.debian.org/debian/libcap-ng/-/commit/9c6991a7f198c486c38e4a5ddf2e0142d4f64564
