Package: golang-github-google-gopacket-dev Version: 1.1.11-2 Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer, Some of the functionality of this package depends on third-party libraries. See https://godoc.org/github.com/google/gopacket e.g.: * pcap: C bindings to use libpcap to read packets off the wire. To use this part, one requires libpcap0.8-dev. Other components may require other libraries too. Perhaps this library package should Depend: or Recommend: some of these packages? (The reasoning is that, if my project uses this package, *even if my code does not directly call libpcap*, I may need it during the build, but this need is due to code in this package and not my code.) libpcap is a bit complex however; upstream does not use stable versions and Debian specifically has 0.8. Upstream recommends at least 1.1 but a contact of mine confirmed that his package (HoneyBadger, that depends on this package) works with the libpcap 0.8 in Debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (300, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) -- no debconf information
