5143	util-linux appears not to look for libcap.	ken@…	ken@…	"Researching what might have gone wrong in David Bryant's current build (elogind not finding libcap) I checked what uses libcap in LFS.

When I looked for 'cap' in my util-linux log, I saw:
{{{
checking for linux/capability.h... yes (part of the linux headers)
checking for capng_apply in -lcap-ng... no
}}}

Looking back as far as LFS-8.3 (util-linux-2.32.1, my oldest logs on this machine) I see that too was looking for libcap-ng.

That package is [https://people.redhat.com/sgrubb/libcap-ng/] - I think we can remove it from appendix C (sependencies) ?"	enhancement	closed	normal	11.3	Book	git	normal	fixed
