Description:
Pacman shows the following error during the installation of iputils 20150815.1b5d03a-1 now in [testing]:

chmod: cannot access 'usr/bin/ping6': No such file or directory
error: command failed to execute correctly

It seems to be caused by the post_install()/post_upgrade() function trying to run the following command

setcap cap_net_raw=ep usr/bin/ping6 2>/dev/null || chmod +s usr/bin/ping6

but /usr/bin/ping6 itself is not present in the package.


Steps to reproduce:
* enable [testing]
* run "pacman -Syu iputils"
This task depends upon

Fixed already: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/iputils&id=5581ee0f292a1d602f2afe0329d6c46b504d13cb

... but people might miss 'ping6', even if 'ping' supports -4 and -6 flags now.
