Hi Everyone,

I'm working on Fedora 36 with the KDE spin. I'm testing the burning of a large
ISO using k3b. The burning fails (a separate problem), but I noticed the
following in dmesg:

    [171027.111467] capability: warning: `growisofs' uses 32-bit capabilities
(legacy support in use)

That message has been around since at least 2010. People report it to various
distros but no one fixes it. Some folks offer a patch but the patch just
bitrots and then the issue is closed. I'm hoping a Fedora and KDE bug report
might get it fixed.
