Description:
libcap doesn't work after upgrading to the last testing version.

Additional info:
* testing/libcap 2.16-2
* extra/pinentry 0.7.5-3

Steps to reproduce:
Try to run, e.g., 'pinentry-gtk-2'.
I got: "pinentry-gtk-2: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."

I solved with a symbolic link:
ln -s /lib/libcap.so.2 /lib/libcap.so.1
This task depends upon

It is pinentry which is not working, not libcap.
This symbolic link is wrong and ugly.
The proper solution is to rebuild pinentry. It has been made for i686 already, it will eventually be done for x86_64. Just be patient or rebuild it yourself.

Is it? I thought libcap may not work.
