Bug 211605 – app-admin/ulogd has automagic net-libs/libpcap dependency

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christopher Schwan 2008-02-27 09:57:05 UTC]

Emerging ulogd-1.23-r1 does not install the PCAP-plugin.

On my PC the actual installed files are:

/usr/share/doc/ulogd-1.23-r1/ulogd.txt.bz2

The missing file is:

/usr/lib/ulogd/ulogd_PCAP.so

I also noticed that "ulogd-1.23-r1.ebuild" contains a deprecated HOMEPAGE variable - this should point to http://netfilter.org/projects/ulogd/index.html.


Reproducible: Always

Because you don't have net-libs/libpcap; yet another automagic crap in this dead thing.

[Comment 2 Christopher Schwan 2008-02-27 10:19:00 UTC]

Hm ... according to eix i _have_ installed libpcap

[I] net-libs/libpcap
     Available versions:  0.9.5 0.9.6 0.9.7 0.9.8 {ipv6}
     Installed versions:  0.9.8(12:18:29 12.01.2008)(-ipv6)
     Homepage:            http://www.tcpdump.org/
     Description:         A system-independent library for user-level network packet capture

... ?

[Comment 3 Christopher Schwan 2008-02-27 10:24:01 UTC]

I re-emerged ulogd, now it works for me.

[Comment 4 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) 2008-02-27 15:16:14 UTC]

Well it's still a bug since this obviously needs to be either a hard dependency or a configure option.

[Comment 5 Jeremy Olexa (darkside) (RETIRED) 2008-08-09 04:20:11 UTC]

Alright, added the pcap flag to automatically build the PCAP plugin. Not the best fix but it is acceptable, I think.
