[Bug 1313550] Re: ping does not work as a normal user on trusty tarball cloud images.

[Newell Jensen]

** 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

+ ==========
+ 
+ [Impact]
+ 
+ As the original bug report description mentions, curtin's extraction
+ needs to use xattr/acl flags.
+ 
+ [Test Case]
+ 
+ To reproduce this bug, use curtin extraction without the extended file
+ attributes.
+ 
+ [Regression Potential]
+ 
+ TBD
