If building net-analyzer/netsniff-ng with no libnl:1.1 installed the netsniff-ng component isn't built (so only bpfc and ifpps are installed). It seem that the build process depends on libnl:1.1 but the ebuild is missing this as a dependency. # ldd /usr/sbin/netsniff-ng linux-gate.so.1 (0xb7798000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/libpthread.so.0 (0xb776b000) libnl.so.1 => /usr/lib/libnl.so.1 (0xb7725000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb759c000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7799000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0xb7575000) I only noticed this fact as 'equery depends dev-libs/libnl:1.1' showed no dependencies, but after susequently unmerging, revdep-rebuild wanted to re-merge the package. Once the emerge was completed 'equery files netsniff-ng' showed: /usr /usr/sbin /usr/sbin/bpfc /usr/sbin/ifpps /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/netsniff-ng-0.5.7 /usr/share/doc/netsniff-ng-0.5.7/AUTHORS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/netsniff-ng-0.5.7/README.bz2 /usr/share/doc/netsniff-ng-0.5.7/REPORTING-BUGS.bz2 /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man8 /usr/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.bz2 Replacing libnl:1.1 and re-merging netsniff-ng: /etc /etc/netsniff-ng /etc/netsniff-ng/ether.conf /etc/netsniff-ng/oui.conf /etc/netsniff-ng/tcp.conf /etc/netsniff-ng/udp.conf /usr /usr/sbin /usr/sbin/bpfc /usr/sbin/ifpps /usr/sbin/netsniff-ng /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/netsniff-ng-0.5.7 /usr/share/doc/netsniff-ng-0.5.7/AUTHORS.bz2 /usr/share/doc/netsniff-ng-0.5.7/README.bz2 /usr/share/doc/netsniff-ng-0.5.7/REPORTING-BUGS.bz2 /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man8 /usr/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.bz2 /usr/share/man/man8/netsniff-ng.8.bz2 I imagine the issues wasn't noticed as most installs with netsniff-ng will no doubt have libnl:1.1 installed. The fix: RDEPEND="dev-libs/libnl:1.1" DEPEND="${RDEPEND}" best ... khay
@xmw, there is a directly tarball instead of use anything else: http://pub.netsniff-ng.org/netsniff-ng/netsniff-ng-0.5.7.tar.gz
(In reply to comment #1) > @xmw, there is a directly tarball instead of use anything else: While I don't know why the ebuilds SRC_URI points to github and not netsniff-ng.org I can report that the two tarballs differ (based on checksum). However the issue is the same with the source tarball directly from the URL above. With no libnl:1.1 # find ./image -type f -print ./image/usr/sbin/ifpps ./image/usr/sbin/bpfc ./image/usr/share/doc/netsniff-ng-0.5.7/REPORTING-BUGS.bz2 ./image/usr/share/doc/netsniff-ng-0.5.7/README.bz2 ./image/usr/share/doc/netsniff-ng-0.5.7/AUTHORS.bz2 ./image/usr/share/man/man8/ifpps.8.bz2 ./image/usr/share/man/man8/bpfc.8.bz2
(In reply to comment #1) > @xmw, there is a directly tarball instead of use anything else: > > http://pub.netsniff-ng.org/netsniff-ng/netsniff-ng-0.5.7.tar.gz I think this file was not visible at the time of the last bump. The differenc eof the tarballs is just the name of the top dir (gnumaniacs-netsniff-ng-1271e1c vs. netsniff-ng-0.5.7). The contained files are exactly the same. I'm doing an revbump to deploy the dependency and prevent libnl:1.1 removals. +*netsniff-ng-0.5.7-r1 (07 Nov 2012) + + 07 Nov 2012; Michael Weber <xmw@gentoo.org> -netsniff-ng-0.5.6.ebuild, + -netsniff-ng-0.5.7.ebuild, +netsniff-ng-0.5.7-r1.ebuild: + Revbump to mark libnl dependency (thanks Khayyam, bug 439858), switch to + upstream release tarball (thanks ago), drop old.
