Why this pkg is removed from the community by arojas in [2021-05-08 09:15 +0000] ?

"Since systemd 243, the net.ipv4.ping_group_range sysctl is set to encompass all groups, so special permissions are no longer necessary to send icmp echo packets." (See fixed iputils change to drop cap_net_raw privileges on ping binary: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63710)
This package should also not have the cap_net_raw capability set for the binary (except if it uses icmpv6 node information queries) so that it can run unprivileged, which has huge security gains, since cap_net_raw allows many things except just sending ping packages.
So, everything should work fine in current Arch Linux if these lines
