Package: iputils-ping Version: 3:20250605-1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Due to the removal of cap_net_raw+p from ping, ping no longer works in network namespaces (such as those created by ip netns). The presence or absence of linux-sysctl-defaults does not change this. Can the removal of the capability be reverted, a debconf setting be created to add the capability (it seems that iproute2 does this for ip vrf) or a separate package with the capability added be uploaded?
