Description:

community/driftnet 0.1.6-1 is compiled for an older version of libpcap - it's looking for 0.9.8. Since libpcap was upgraded to 1.0.0 a while ago, Driftnet has been looking for a non-existent shared library and fails to start.

Additional info:

* package version(s)
community/driftnet 0.1.6-1

* config and/or log files etc.
driftnet: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.9.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Steps to reproduce:

Run Driftnet.

A workaround is to symlink like so: ln -s /usr/lib/libpcap.so.1.0.0 /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.9.8.
