At a first glance, I'd guess the test is to ensure libpcap is present on this system by testing for a function known to be in there. As it turns out, the test you found is not very reliable, it seems. ;) openvas-libraries still depends on libpcap, so I think the best solution would be to upgrade this test to reliably identify the presence of libpcap. Do you think you can do that or would you like assistance?
