Package: iputils-ping Version: 3:20240905-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, after upgrade to Sid iputils-ping 3:20240905-1 I get: " ping argos ping: socktype: SOCK_RAW ping: socket: Opération non permise ping: => missing cap_net_raw+p capability or setuid? "
from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1008281 I learnt that it was due to me missing the recommended pacakge linux-sysctl-defaults (as I have recommends disabled by defaults by the default DebOps ansible I use to manage my boxes, "APT::Install-Recommends "false";"). But the error from the ping command is misleadingf in that it tells to revert to set the capability instead of telling to install the recommended package. (it could tell both as setting the cap could sitll be a valid local administation policy). THis is another bug, probably in linux-sysctl-defaults, I found but installing linux-sysctl-defaults does not apply its sysctl settings. Ie one either has to reboot or run "sysctl --system" to have ping working even after having linux-sysctl-defaults installed. Do you know if this is a bug in linux-sysctl-defaults or a Debian policy not to apply sysctl settings on package install?
