In my openSUSE 13.2 machine I can apply commands like setcap and getcap on some application. I moved that application to an openSUSE 12 machine that does not have capabilities installed. In the 13.2 machine I have packages libcap-ng0, libcap1, libcap1-32bit, libcap2 and libcap2-32bit installed, I installed the same packages on the openSUSE 12 machine and I still get this message:

If 'setcap' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it

Even on root. I just don't remember how I got capabilities to work on my machine. How to install these commands so I can set file capabilities ?
