Problem with validate/fping

Starting this week the validate.php script says:

Component Version
LibreNMS 1.48.1-85-gee76057
DB Schema 2019_02_10_220000_add_dates_to_fdb (132)
PHP 7.2.15-1+ubuntu16.04.1+deb.sury.org+1
MySQL 10.0.38-MariaDB-0ubuntu0.16.04.1
RRDTool 1.5.5
SNMP NET-SNMP 5.7.3

====================================

[OK] Composer Version: 1.6.3
[OK] Dependencies up-to-date.
[OK] Database connection successful
[OK] Database schema correct
[FAIL] fping could not be executed. fping must have CAP_NET_RAW capability (getcap) or suid. Selinux exlusions may be required.
[FAIL] fping6 could not be executed. fping6 must have CAP_NET_RAW capability (getcap) or suid. Selinux exlusions may be required.

The setup is online since last year and never had this problem.
fping and fping6 are present in the system (Ubuntu 16.04). Caps are ok.
# getcap /usr/bin/fping*
/usr/bin/fping = cap_net_raw+ep
/usr/bin/fping6 = cap_net_raw+ep

# fping -v
fping: Version 3.13
fping: comments to [email protected]

# fping6 -v
fping: Version 3.13
fping: comments to [email protected]

Read the threads about it with no solutions, tried to add the path in config.php and nothing changed.
fping runs as librenms user with no problems:
# sudo -u librenms fping 10.136.12.1
10.136.12.1 is alive

Any ideas?

You tested fping not fping6. Try testing it as you did with fping

Same as fping

# sudo -u librenms fping6 fe80::250:56ff:fea4:c78f
fe80::250:56ff:fea4:c78f is alive

Did you test this: Errors on ./validate.php for fping

Yes, I searched and tested as you can read in my first post.

Also I would like to stress the fact that this same installation worked with no issues for at least 6 months.
