** Description changed: With trusty, /bin/ping relies on having extended attributes and kernel capabilities to gain the cap_net_raw+p capability. This allows removing the suid bit. However, the tarball cloud images do not preserve the extended attributes, and thus /bin/ping does not work on a system derived from them.

[Test Case] To reproduce this bug, use curtin extraction without the extended file attributes. [Regression Potential] Since the patch for this bug fix *looks* to see if there are extended file attributes, it should work in the event that they are there or are not there or are. More specifically, if tar cmd supports xattrs, curtin will return the required flags to extract them. This lowers the probability of introducing a regression.
