Package: libpcap0.8 Version: 1.1.1-8 Severity: important File: libpcap
I'm the developer of SharpPcap, a c# library that interacts with libpcap. Noticed that it wasn't working on my system because the mapping from windows dll to linux dll was broken. Previously I was able to map from wpcap to libpcap.so.0 but there was no libpcap.so.0 file. After some research and discussion with a few people online I discovered that fedora ships libpcap.so.1.2.1 and a symlink at libpcap.so.1, opensuse libpcap.so.0.9.7 and a symlink at libpcap.so.0. Ubuntu/debian ship libpcap.so.1.1.1 with a symlink at libpcap.so.0.8. Looking at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html#s-sharedlibs-runtime it appears that this package *should* have a libpcap.so.1 symlink. And it would make my life a lot simpler :-) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers oneiric-updates APT policy: (500, 'oneiric-updates'), (500, 'oneiric-security'), (500, 'oneiric'), (100, 'oneiric-backports') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.0.0-14-generic (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libpcap0.8 depends on: ii libc6 2.13-20ubuntu5 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii multiarch-support 2.13-20ubuntu5 Transitional package to ensure mul libpcap0.8 recommends no packages. libpcap0.8 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
