hm, interesting. It also only shows up on some upgrade tests, but not all:

while most of these went fine:

I'm not sure how to parse this, as the combination of the two is exactly
what I've identified as problematic.

I think it's also a question of ordering: if libpam-cap is updated first
and and libcap2-bin is removed second, things go well. If libcap2-bin is
removed first and libpam-cap second, you will encounter the problem.
