Additional context

It seems libcap is failing to download because git.kernel.org doesn't support tar.gz as a package format? I get that error when trying to download the file myself (Unsupported snapshot format: libcap-2.69.tar.gz)

See #37851.

Please temporarily use the patch workaround.

Hi @WangWeiLin-MV , thanks for your comment. Is there a specific procedure to apply that patch without having to add custom ports and all that jazz to my repo? We're not even depending on libcap ourselves, just want to install SDL2...

[WangWeiLin-MV]

@Arcnor This patch can applied by saving it as a file then git apply _saved_filename_, then add option to vcpkg install with --overlay-ports=ports/libcap
