iproute2 configure program explicitly checks for libcap support and the ebuild does not provide a way to control for this dependency. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be an easy way to tell its configure to enable/disable libcap inclusion and solely depends on libcap's existence in the system. For example, a system is initially built with -caps, but later +caps is enabled, the iproute2 package will not rebuild on a world --newuse update. Also, the ebuild has no *DEPEND for sys-libs/libcap
This was for: sys-apps/iproute2-4.17.0
This should be a higher priority than "normal". This breaks network init scripts on systems that use binary packages if they were automagically linked to libcap!
I hit this as well on a binpkg system since upgrading to iproute2-4.17
