I just found the package 'prelink' which explain the changes of my ping (and 
all other) binaries. I installed that ~10 years ago and forgot about it :-(.

I am not sure if there is any benefit today with much faster CPU/Memory and 
SSD. I will disable it for a while to see if the pcap problem pops up again 
(last night prelink successfully set the pcaps for /bin/ping(6)).

There might be some other software involved, still have to check that.

Thanks to all for your kind help !
