Description Chris Smith 2013-01-30 22:38:08 UTC

net-misc/iputils-20121221-r1 throws garbage postinst messages referring to non-existent filesystems

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
WARN: postinst
Could not set caps on '/bin/arping' due to missing filesystem support.
Make sure you enable XATTR support for 'ext2/ext3' in your kernel.   
Could not set caps on '/bin/ping' due to missing filesystem support.
Make sure you enable XATTR support for 'ext2/ext3' in your kernel. 
Could not set caps on '/bin/ping6' due to missing filesystem support. 
Make sure you enable XATTR support for 'ext2/ext3' in your kernel.  
Could not set caps on '/usr/bin/clockdiff' due to missing filesystem support.                                                 
Make sure you enable XATTR support for 'ext2/ext3' in your kernel.

Expected Results:  
As ext2 and ext3 are not being used nor are they compiled in the kernel these messages should not occur.

It runs $(stat -f -c %T "${file}") and that returns "ext2/ext3" in some cases.
