Package: iputils-ping Followup-For: Bug #1008281 Dear Maintainer,
it would be nice if the change from this bug would be mentioned in NEWS.Debian. I luckily noticed after three days that backups with backuppc were no longer running, since it checks the presence of the machines using ping, running as a unpriviledged user. Since linux-sysctl-defaults was not installed, ping was not allowed, and it took me surprisingly long to figure out why the capability went missing and reinstalling the package did not work.
