  Explanation for the bug and patch: PAM used to depend on libcap2, so
the corresponding files had to be copied into the chroot.  That has
changed (in 2007 apparently), and there are systems where libcap2 isn't
installed, and the script fails on them.  In “real-world” systems the
risk is small because ntp (which is commonly installed on servers) pulls
in libcap2, but the bug exists nevertheless.

  Thanks,

Roland.
