if libpcap is not installed emerging ppp-2.4.2 will fail when when option.c tries to include pcap.h. Even if libcap is installed demand.c will fail to compile because it tries to include /net/bpf.h instead of pcap-bpf.h The ebuild only lists libpcap as a dependency if activefilter is selected.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 41416 ***
This bug is only a partial duplicate of 41416. Libpcap should be, but it not currently listed as a dependency in the ebuild file. 41416 only deals with the /net/bhp.net problem in demand.c which is not even reached if libpcap is not installed.
the ebuild-patch at bug 41416 includes the dependency on libcap. so while this bug is not a real duplicate of 41416, it is resolved by 41416. (i'm not changing the status, though)
fixed
