The issue here is that libnet 1.0.x and 1.1.x in the current incarnation
cannot co-exist on the same system at the same time.
At this point in time the following packages need to be updated to
support libnet 1.1.x branch:
LaBrea
firewalk
firewalk-gkt (now obsolete in latest version of libnet)
tcptraceroute (beta supports 1.1.x)
The following packages can support both and i'm planning on using the
options.mk framework to allow building with the 1.0.x branch or the
1.1.x branch:
arping
libnids
The following package currently only work with the libnet 1.0.x branch:
cdpd
nemesis
scdp
xipdump
dsniff
I'll try and make the transition painless but at the end of the day it
will be necessary for users to make a choice between the two libnet
branches and this will in turn dictate which application can be installed.
