Ookay I see it. I don't know _why_ I didn't see this line at the beginning of 
libcap DETAILS yesterday, maybe I was too tired. But:

           SPELL=libcap
KVER=$(installed_version linux | cut -c-3)
if [[ $KVER == 2.4 ]];then
         VERSION=1.10
else
         VERSION=1.97
fi
          SOURCE=$SPELL-$VERSION.tar.bz2
SOURCE_DIRECTORY=$BUILD_DIRECTORY/$SPELL-$VERSION
   
SOURCE_URL[0]=http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/security/linux-privs/kernel-${KVER}/$SOURCE

As you see, that will fail if the linux spell isn't installed. 
installed_version should be replaced with get_kernel_version.
