 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.
