Description petre rodan (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-06-10 00:52:15 UTC 
please add libnet and libpcap as RDEPEND for all tcptraceroute ebuilds, since they are dynamically linked libraries needed by your application. [1]
 when installing from binary packages (think catalyst or an enterprise setup), only RDEPEND is checked and that one is missing in your case. [2]

peter: quoting `man 5 ebuild`:

RDEPEND
     This should contain a list of all packages that are required for this program to run (aka  runtime depend). If this is not set, then it defaults to the value of DEPEND. You may use the same syntax to vary dependencies as seen above in DEPEND.

None of ebuilds in net-analyzer/tcptraceroute have RDEPEND variable thus I think this is not a bug. Reopen, please, if I'm wrong.
