Package: libpcap0.8-dev Version: 0.9.8-5 Severity: important
With the following program, about 50% of the time the pcap_next fails with "Error reading from eth0". If you comment out the pcap_setdirection line you never get this, data is always read. #include <pcap.h> main() { pcap_t *pcap; const u_char *buffer; struct pcap_pkthdr header; char errbuf[PCAP_ERRBUF_SIZE]; pcap = pcap_open_live("eth0", BUFSIZ, 1, 1000, errbuf); if(pcap == NULL) { fprintf(stderr, "eth0: %s\n", errbuf); return 1; } pcap_setdirection(pcap, PCAP_D_IN); buffer = pcap_next(pcap, &header); if(buffer == NULL) { fputs("Error reading from eth0\n", stderr); pcap_close(pcap); return 2; } pcap_close(pcap); printf("Read %d bytes\n", header.len); return 0; } -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libpcap0.8-dev depends on: ii libc6-dev 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Development Librari ii libpcap0.8 0.9.8-5 system interface for user-level pa libpcap0.8-dev recommends no packages. libpcap0.8-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
