[Bug 486015] Re: Error Depends: libcap1 but it is not installable

[Ilya Barygin]

SRU justification

The package is not installable.
The problem is being addressed in Lucid by rebuilding package to pick up correct binary dependencies. This involves patching source to add necessary headers (for gcc 4.4 / eglibc 2.10) and building without strict-aliasing optimizations because upstream code isn't clean in this respect.

TEST CASE:
$ sudo apt-get install nepenthes
[sudo] password: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
