I'm having an issue updating a system that boots over NFS. Attempting to upgrade the iputils package results in the following: ---8<------------------------------- (1/1) upgrading iputils [###########################] 100% Failed to set capabilities on file `usr/bin/ping' (Operation not supported) usage: setcap [-q] [-v] (-r|-|<caps>) <filename> [ ... (-r|-|<capsN>) <filenameN> ] Note <filename> must be a regular (non-symlink) file. Failed to set capabilities on file `usr/bin/ping6' (Operation not supported) usage: setcap [-q] [-v] (-r|-|<caps>) <filename> [ ... (-r|-|<capsN>) <filenameN> ] Note <filename> must be a regular (non-symlink) file. ---8<------------------------------- I suspect this is something to do with NFS not supporting the capabilities that setcap is trying to use, but I admit I haven't encountered capabilities before I ran into this issue, so it's just a guess. Has anyone else seen this problem, or does anyone have an idea how to fix it? Paul
