Hello,

Testing the core-updates branch, I got this failure from fakeroot:

Perhaps caused by running the tests in parallel.

These two tests create a block device with 'mknod' inside the fakeroot,
and afterwards verifies with 'ls' that they are in fact block devices.

It turns out that the 'ls' invokation does not work because the newer
'ls' uses statx() which is not supported/caught by fakeroot, and thus it
does not see the fake block device.  So I changed these tests to use
'test -b' as a stopgap measure.

This turned out to be a regression in 'libcap', fixed by providing a
newer version.

Fixed in ba151b7e1a9cc0baf932b5c5e0c916e54d2e27f4, thanks!
