Re: Netdiag Debain 2.2 Package Problems

I have found that even in Woody, many sparc network packages that use
libpcap0-0.6 don't work. This is due, I believe, to the fact that prior to
0.6 libpcap always delivered "aligned" packets. 0.6 doesn't necessairly do
this and the application needs to account for it. Some examples of Woody
packages that I get a bus error on are tcpflow and ngrep. The only other
one I tried was tcpdump which worked fine, but is developed alongside
libpcap.
I've found that if I force-downgrade to libpcap0-0.4 the problem goes
away, however I'm not sure what other problems this may cause.
