Description Peter Ennis 2005-07-31 04:42:40 UTC

Description of problem:

Error: Missing Dependency: libpcap.so.0.9.1 is needed by package ethereal
Error: Missing Dependency: libpcap.so.0.9.1 is needed by package ppp

So I reread the Wiki TestingManifesto and tried:

yum --exclude=ethereal --exclude=ppp update

which results in:


--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: libpcap.so.0.8.3 for package: ethereal
--> Processing Dependency: libpcap.so.0.8.3 for package: ppp
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: libpcap.so.0.8.3 is needed by package ethereal
Error: Missing Dependency: libpcap.so.0.8.3 is needed by package ppp
[root@lfs ~]#

No more help found in testing guidelines except "wait a few days
for new developer release". Waiting...

Search and google for "libpcap.so.0.9.1 is needed by package ethereal"
returned nothing.

try running:
yum --exclude=libpcap update

I'm betting this is just a temporary broken dep in rawhide and not a bug at all.

Comment 2 Peter Ennis 2005-08-01 00:40:09 UTC

Quoting from above:
No more help found in testing guidelines except "wait a few days
for new developer release". Waiting... == "not a bug at all"
??? TBD

Thanks for the pointer. The results of running:
yum --exclude=libpcap update
are below...

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2005-08-01 12:36:30 UTC

This is due to the package not being rebuilt.

Comment 4 Radek Vokál 2005-08-03 07:23:52 UTC

ethereal got rebuilt against new libpcap.
