Yes, there is one: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpcap.so.0.8 -> libpcap.so.1.2.1 > And isn't that something in the 1.x series? Is the version not 1.x? The version, yes.

There's nothing they can do about this, the upstream build defines a different soname. If someone were to package libpcap from scratch today they would probably use it, but each distribution has to live with its historical soname. -- Romain Francoise <rfranco...@debian.org> http://people.debian.org/~rfrancoise/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
