Library for Capabilities (linux-privs) Support

Edit Package libcap

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.

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
