Package: driftnet Version: 0.1.6-9+b1 Severity: normal Tags: patch upstream
The version supplied in Debian lacks the option of reading packet data from a pcap file, requiring root privileges to use the X11 software. There are forks of driftnet implementing this feature which I'd like to see included in the debian release as well: https://github.com/wertarbyte/driftnet Since sniffing and displaying the data can be separated that way, these changes greatly increase the usefulness of the software package. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-vserver-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages driftnet depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.30.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.11.2-10 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libcairo2 1.8.10-6 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra pn libgif4 <none> (no description available) ii libglib2.0-0 2.24.2-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.20.1-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libjpeg62 6b1-1 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.28.3-1+squeeze2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpcap0.8 1.1.1-2+squeeze1 system interface for user-level pa ii libpng12-0 1.2.44-1+squeeze1 PNG library - runtime driftnet recommends no packages. driftnet suggests no packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
