please add libpcap as RDEPEND for all arpwatch ebuilds, since it's a dynamically linked library needed by your application. [1] when installing from binary packages (think catalyst or an enterprise setup), only RDEPEND is checked and that one is missing in your case.

Possible fix.
Here this is really a problem. Thank you for report Peter!
I've attached patch how this can be fixed. net-analyzer/arpwatch is a happy
package with the maintainer ;) Let's wait for his opinion. :)
