I've comitted a possible fix. If you want you can try and change the fPIC patch
removing /tmp/ from the first line (so the file is the same as the +++ line)

It seem to be a problem with the package libpcap itself. tar showed up a
message to remove the leading /libpcap-0.8.1/./ from the files when extracting
them. The result is, that all files of the package aren't extracted into
$PORTAGE_TMPDIR/portage/libpcap-0.8.1/work/libpcap-0.8.1/ but
$PORTAGE_TMPDIR/portage/libpcap-0.8.1/work/ .
This explains why the patch is unable to find the Makefile.in.
I've unpacked and repacked the libpcap-0.8.1.tar.gz, refreshed the digest and
did the changes to the patch like Daniel Ahlberg suggested in his posting
above.
This works for me :)

I've posted a bugreport on the tcpdump-workers mailing list to fix the problem
with the tarball...

let's see what happens...

we cannot redistribute the repackaged tarball, since the MD5 will differ from
the official one on www.tcpdump.org

libpcap-0.8.1-r1.ebuild

For the impatient I've butchered the ebuild to make this work for now .. I have
not checked portage for a fix recently so one may be out there already. 

As long as this is not fixed in portage, you should mask this one (still buggy
on my side).

A better butchering of the ebuild is to use tar xvzPf rather than unpack.

The -P option to tar tells it not to strip ^.*\./ from the paths of
the files it extracts.
