Package: iputils-ping Version: 3:20121221-5+b2 Severity: normal I downloaded Debian Live from this link: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/debian-live-8.5.0-amd64-kde-desktop.iso I booted into this KDE live system, opened Konsole terminal emulator, typed "ping debian.org" (as non-root) into it and saw: "ping: icmp open socket: Operation not permitted". "sudo ping debian.org" works.
