Description Paul Holzinger 2025-08-25 15:30:25 UTC 
Description of problem:

The build base images are missing the extended file attributes for for file capabilities on at least /usr/bin/newuidmap and /usr/bin/newgidmap but likely all files who depend on that though I haven't checked if there are more.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
all

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. podman run --rm registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:42 getcap /usr/bin/newgidmap


Actual results:
no output (no capabilities)

Expected results:
/usr/bin/newuidmap cap_setuid=ep

Additional info:

The work around for build that use this as base is `rpm --setcaps shadow-utils` which correctly restore the missing file caps.
