** Description changed: With trusty, /bin/ping relies on having extended attributes and kernel capabilities to gain the cap_net_raw+p capability. This allows removing the suid bit. However, the tarball cloud images do not preserve the extended attributes, and thus /bin/ping does not work on a system derived from them. Summary of problem per package: * lxc: ubuntu cloud template needs to extract * download template needs to extract with xattr flags * server side download creation tools need xattr flags * [unconfirmed] tarball caches need creation and extraction with xattr flags * tar: need the '--xattr' and '--acl' flags backported * maas: uec2roottgz needs to use xattr/acl flags * curtin: extraction needs to use xattr/acl flags. * cloud-image-build: needs to create -root.tar.gz with xattr/acl flags Related Bugs: - * bug 1382632: horizon insecure key file permissions - * bug 1386237: tar strange behavior with --acl - * bug 1313550: ping broken (xattrs lost in tar extraction) + * bug 1382632: horizon insecure key file permissions + * bug 1386237: tar strange behavior with --acl and xattr + * bug 1313550: ping broken (xattrs lost in tar extraction)
