** Description changed:

+ [ Impact ]
+ 
+ iotop-c failed to launch at all due to permission denials in nl_init and
+ missing capabilities in the iotop-c profile.
+ 
+ [ Test Plan ]
+ 
+  * Launch iotop-c under sudo (make sure to invoke iotop-c directly instead of 
iotop, which might be symlinked to the distinct iotop-py)
+    - Without the fix: iotop-c fails to launch due to permission denials in 
nl_init
+    - With the fix: iotop-c should launch successfully
+  * Attempt to set the ionice value of a running process using iotop-c, and 
verify that the operation succeeds
+ 
+ [ Where problems could occur ]
+ 
+ The additions to the iotop-c profile are loosening confinement on a
+ profile. However, if a user manually modified the installed profiles,
+ then the package upgrade would cause conflicts, and rejection of the
+ incoming changes (either by hand during an interactive upgrade or
+ automatically during an batch unattended upgrade) would result in end
+ users not getting the packaged fix.
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
+ 
+ --------Original bug description
+ 
  On a fresh installation of Kubuntu 25.04 in VirtualBox
  Installation of packages 1.26-1, 1.27-1 and 1.28-1 work, but program iotop-c 
does not start due to insufficient rights with output:
  nl_init: insufficient rights
  
  Interestingly, all three packages work on Kubuntu 24.10
  Therefore, this appears to be a problem with the underlying operating system.
