Summary

  • packaging/postinstall.sh only runs setcap 'cap_net_raw+p' on the installed binary; nothing in the package shells out to ip, so the iproute2 dependency in .goreleaser.yml was unnecessary.
  • Replaced it with the package that actually provides setcap, using per-format nfpm overrides: libcap2-bin for deb, libcap for rpm (Debian splits the CLI tools out of libcap2; RPM-based distros bundle them into libcap).

Test plan

  • Build deb/rpm packages via goreleaser and confirm libcap2-bin/libcap are listed as dependencies instead of iproute2
  • Install the built package and confirm postinstall.sh successfully runs setcap

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

postinstall.sh only calls setcap to grant cap_net_raw; nothing in the
package shells out to the ip command, so iproute2 was never required.
Use per-format nfpm overrides instead: libcap2-bin on deb, libcap on rpm.

Closing — this was opened without explicit confirmation from me (the fork was requested, the PR was not). Apologies for the overstep.
