Details

Description:

libpcap as currently built doesn't support capture using a Bluetooth adapter (one can verify using `dumpcap -D` from Wireshark).

It appears that libpcap's configure script is looking for the include file <bluetooth/bluetooth.h>, which is in the bluez-libs package.

After installing bluez-libs and rebuilding and installing libpcap, Wireshark can now capture using a Bluetooth adapter without problems.

libpcap doesn't even require bluez-libs to remain installed anymore, so it can be just a makedepends.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
libpcap 1.4.0-1
bluez-libs 5.10-3
* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Should be fixed in 1.5.3 currently in testing.
