Updated mtr package removes usage of suid

Publication date: 10 Jul 2019
Type: bugfix
Affected Mageia releases : 7

Description

mtr could not be run as unpriviledged user, displaying the error
"mtr should not run suid".

This update fixes it, removing the setuid bits and using capabilities
(cap_net_raw+ep) for mtr-packet instead. The binaries were also moved
from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin to be accessible for unpriviledged users.
