Package: libpcap0.8 Version: 1.10.0-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have tcpdump installed. Manpage tcpdump(8) references some pcap related manpages: * pcap-savefile(5) * pcap-filter(7) * pcap-tstamp(7) pcap-filter(7) is installed because it is provided by libcap0.8 which is dependency of tcpdump. pcap-savefile(5) and pcap-tstamp(7) are not installed. They are provided by libcap0.8-dev, which is not a dependency of tcpdump. A tcpdump user has no easy way to understand that he should install libcap0.8-dev to get these manpages. I see that in 2009, bug #527599 triggered the move of pcap-filter(7) from libcap0.8-dev to libcap0.8. I think the same should be done for pcap-savefile(5) and pcap-tstamp(7). -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.7 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-22-amd64 (SMP w/6 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages libpcap0.8 depends on: ii libc6 2.31-13+deb11u6 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.24-0+deb11u1 libpcap0.8 recommends no packages. libpcap0.8 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
