ngrep 1.43 was released a few days ago, and I also had a report of a similar problem on SuSE 9.2. The short summary is that the test program itself was based on a bad assumption that if it failed, it failed because of a problem with udp.h. The report exposed the fact that it can fail for other reasons, and assuming all failures mean the header is broken was wrong. The full explanation is at: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1144991&group_id=10752&atid=110752 I am the author of ngrep and an avid user of Gentoo. I have come across bugs in your database several times typically by my own interest only; I think only once did you guys ever notify me (and I promptly fixed it). I would be very happy to address bugs more directly and quickly if would just notify me. Is there a system with which I can register my email address or gentoo bugs account that can be automatically notified of new bugs as they arise?
Jordan - thankyou for your comment and the fix. I've added ngrep-1.43 to the gentoo distro. I apologise for the lack of notification. To improve notification in future I have added your name/email to the metadata that is typically used to assign bugs. In the preferences section of bugzilla you could watch netmon bugs however I feel you would be overwhelmed with bugs you are not interested it. I'm hoping adding your name to metadata will alleviate any further lack of communication. bug 52000 lists a patch for pcap for inclusion that was included for ngrep-1.42. I've removed it cause it doesn't apply cleanly and it seems you have addressed some of the issues. Can you just to a quick check to make sure it doen't include fixes that haven't been included please.
Thanks for the response Daniel, I appreciate it. I've looked over the patch again and AFAICT the purpose of the patch was to figure out which #include was correct, set that via AUTOCONF/config.h, and let that drive an #ifdef/else/endif wrapping the correct #include. My solution was simply to remove it; at least as far back as 0.6.2, libpcap already included the file through pcap.h, making a separate bpf.h include unnecessary. So, confirmed, the referenced patch is not necessary and contains no additional functionality that needed to be rolled into ngrep 1.43. In the past I've tried to support libpcaps all the way back to 0.2 (OpenBSD at one point), so that may explain why I had the bpf include in the first place. I don't remember anymore, but I don't think that I'll have to address this again unless some old libpcap is used, and at this point I don't see a reason for why that should be (I'd probably just respond to support requests that they should upgrade libpcap anyway). Thanks again.
