Library for Capabilities (linux-privs) Support
Capabilities are a measure to limit the omnipotence of the superuser.
Currently a program started by root or setuid root has the power to do
anything. Capabilities (Linux-Privs) provide a more fine-grained access
control. Without kernel patches, you can use this library to drop
capabilities within setuid binaries. If you use patches, this can be
done automatically by the kernel.

- update to 2.51:
* Fix capsh installation
* Add an autoauth module flag to pam_cap.so
* Unified libcap/cap (Go) and libcap (C) default generation of external format binary data
* API enhancement cap_fill() and (*cap.Set).Fill() - to permit copying one
capability flag to another.
* --explain=cap_foo: describe what cap_foo does
* --suggest=phrase: search all the cap descriptions and describe those that match the phrase
* Add "keepcaps" module argument support to pam_cap.so (reported by Zoltan Fridrich. Bug 212945)
* extend libcap to include cap_prctl() and cap_prctlw() functions to regain
feature parity with Go "cap" package. These are only needed when linking
against -lpsx for keepcaps POSIX semantics.
* this likely requires substantial application changes to make Ambient
capability support usable in general, but doing our part for the admin.
* Add a test case for recent kernel fix
* Go pragma fix for convenience functions in "cap" module

This library is problematic on current openSUSE TW, it doesn't install and when I try to build from rpm source:
Checking for unpackaged file(s): /usr/lib/rpm/check-files /home/ilgaz/rpmbuild/BUILDROOT/libcap-2.64-84.121.x86_64 error: Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found: /usr/lib64/security/pam_cap.so
