Description:

The man page for tcpdump claims it should support a -j and -J options that deal with timestamp format. These options appear to not be supported by the tcpdump binary installed by pacman. Also the man page refers to a pcap-tstamp-type(7) man page that doesn't appear to be installed.

Note I'm not sure whether this is a packaging bug or an upstream bug, nor I'm sure whether this is a tcpdump or libpcap bug.

Additional info:

# tcpdump -h
tcpdump version 4.2.1
libpcap version 1.2.1
...


Steps to reproduce:

Try running tcpdump with the -j or -J option.
This task depends upon

I just rebuilt tcpdump against new libpcap 1.2.1 and now the -j and -J options work again.
Please, try tcpdump-4.2.1-2
Also, the man page refers to a pcap-tstamp-type(7) is not provided by tcpdump.
Try man 7 pcap-tstamp
