As a workaround, change the unpacked source: 1. Open ${PORTAGE_TMPDIR}/pylibpcap-0.4/setup.py in a text editor 2. Change line 28 from: def swig_sources(self, sources) to: def swig_sources(self, sources, extension=None) 3.In that directory, run python setup.py build python setup.py install That is very, very ugly, but at least gets the package installed. Apparently the original package is broken. Someone more knowledgeable than me could put together a patch, perhaps?
Created attachment 73109 [details, diff] setup.py patch
Thanks for your suggestions. I have made a little patch that solves this problem: --- setup.py.orig 2005-11-18 00:11:02.000000000 +0100 +++ setup.py 2005-11-18 00:11:29.000000000 +0100 @@ -21,7 +21,7 @@ # self.run_command('make_clean') class pcap_build_ext(build_ext): - def swig_sources(self, sources): + def swig_sources(self, sources, extension=None): """Walk the list of source files in 'sources', looking for SWIG interface (.i) files.

fixed. thanks for the patch. however, i've also bumped the version to 0.5.1 which seems to be working better.
