What is the output of 'which ping' and 'getcap ${which ping}'?

which ping
/usr/bin/ping

getcap `which ping`
/usr/bin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep

still seeing this issue on one machine, a Dell Latitude e6420, with an up-to-date Arch install

Obviously the capabilities were missing, getcap /usr/bin/ping gave an empty result. I reinstalled iputils and it was fixed.
