Jeff Morriss 2011-06-16 12:14:02 EDT Description of problem: A Wireshark user reported that s/he was unable to compile Wireshark because pcap.h was not found. Wireshark's instructions suggest installing the libpcap-dev or libpcap-devel package which the user tried but the packages were not found. It appears that the libpcap-devel package is missing from both Fedora 14 and 15. It is present in the 14 updates/testing directory, but it is not present in 15's updates/testing area. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): (whatever libpcap version Fedora supports in these versions) How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.

Yum install libpcap-devel Actual results: package not found Expected results: package found, able to compile Wireshark [with libpcap support] Additional info: User's question is on Wireshark's Q&A site: Also: the search interface for bugzilla does not seem to admit that libpcap is a component. I was surprised when the bug submission page *did* list it as a component.

(The Wireshark user's problem, undoubtedly, is that s/he does not have updates-testing in his repo list--why would s/he?) So the question from the user then becomes: when will it make it out of testing? (For 14, then, this bug could just be used to track the delivery--I guess the only remaining work is testing.) But on 15 I don't libpcap-devel anywhere (neither updates nor updates-testing). Jeff Morriss 2011-06-16 14:08:32 EDT Oy!

I can see them on the master (which I could not find until now: everything redirected me to mirrors) and on this mirror (which I didn't check until now): but not on this one (for either 14 or 15): It was this latter one which is what I was redirected to when I first went to check the user's complaint. Since the files were missing there and this exactly matched the user's complaint. I wonder if the user's system is refusing to install because he's got a bad mirror or something. Anyway, sorry for the noise. Jeff Morriss 2011-06-17 11:25:15 EDT The user came back and said: ~~~ I'm actually working on an isolated network, and I was using the packages on the Fedora 14 DVD (which does not contain libpcap-devel).

Also I realized that I needed to select the 'Everything' directory instead of the 'Fedora' directory to find this package (from ). ~~~ Now I notice, too, that I was looking in different places on the two mirrors (one in Everything and one in Fedora). Is it normal that libpcap-devel is not in the 'Fedora' directory (base OS, I guess)?

There are other -devel packages there.
