Package: cacti-spine
Version: 0.8.8a-1
Severity: normal

Hi!

Please enable support for Linux capabilities in spine.

This is useful so one can use the "ICMP Ping" uptime checker in spine
without needing to set spine setuid-root, just cap_net_raw is enough to
get this working.

Currently this is not enabled because libcap-dev is missing as
build-dependency.

An additional dependency on libcap2-bin is necessary to allow "setcap
cap_net_raw+ep /usr/sbin/spine" to work in postinst.

Grüße,
Sven.
