[Bug 1542757] Re: mtr no longer works as regular user: mtr: unable to get raw sockets.

[Haw Loeung]

Seems to be missing the cap_net_raw+ep file capability.

| hloeung at somebox:~$ sudo getcap /usr/bin/mtr
| [sudo] password for hloeung:
| hloeung at somebox:~$ sudo setcap cap_net_raw+ep /usr/bin/mtr
| hloeung at somebox:~$ sudo getcap /usr/bin/mtr
| /usr/bin/mtr = cap_net_raw+ep

So mtr.postinst not called with "configure"?
