Hi Martin,
In order for the capability stuff to function the capability.ko module
should be loaded. The situation you describe indeed occurs when
capability.ko is not loaded into the kernel. So I would say that this is
lcap bug, as it is fails to inform the user that capabilities cannot be
removed. I have also tried it with capability module loaded, and then the
command 'lcap CAP_SYS_MODULE' strips _all_ the capabilities, so it seems
to be broken in more than one way. After that loading the modules is, in
fact, impossible. I'll file the bug against lcap once I have a
confirmation that it indeed misbehaves.
