Created attachment 417566 [details, diff] Use fcaps.eclass(5) instead of running setcap(8) directly Current ebuild directly uses setcap(8) to set up file capability of /usr/bin/fbterm in the src_install() phase, which unfortunately gets lost in later phases. Attached is a patch that use fcaps.eclass(5) instead. On my machine, after the patch is applied, the capability is corrected. P.S. * The `use filecaps || fperms u+s /usr/bin/fbterm' line was added in the hope of keeping maximum backward consistency, but I am still not sure whether this is necessary. * A search in the Portage tree indicates that app-i18n/fbterm is the only ebuild that has the same kind of problem; app-admin/collectd has a commented line that wants to use setcap(8) directly.
