Package: python3-scapy
Version: 2.4.4-3
Severity: normal

In tcpdump 4.99.0-1, the location of the tcpdump binary was changed from
/usr/sbin/tcpdump to /usr/bin/tcpdump. This causes autopkgtest to fail
for scapy, as the path is hardcoded to the old location via this patch:

 
https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-security-team/scapy/-/raw/debian/master/debian/patches/use-absolute-paths.patch

Simply removing the patch will allow the test suite to pass again,
however you may consider versioning the dependency on tcpdump in the
autopkgtest control file to ensure that the location will match the
tcpdump version.

Note that the location change may also impact operation of Scapy itself,
in which case the severity of this bug would likely be higher than
'normal'. I have not tested this.

Thanks.
