Package: tcpdump
Version: 4.0.0-2
Severity: normal
tcpdump(8) no longer documents the format of the filter expressions;
instead simply saying
For the expression syntax, see pcap-filter(4).
There is no such manpage included either with tcpdump or libpcap.
l...@nim:~
$ man pcap-filter
No manual entry for pcap-filter
l...@nim:~
$ man 4 pcap-filter
No manual entry for pcap-filter in section 4
libpcap0.8-dev however, does provide one in section 7:
l...@nim:~
$ dpkg -L libpcap0.8-dev | grep pcap-filter
/usr/share/man/man7/pcap-filter.7.gz
the -dev package is not an automatic dependency of tcpdump.
Please:
a) move pcap-filter.7.gz to the libpcap (not -dev) package
b) either:
b.1) change it to section 4.
b.2) update tcpdump(8) to mention pcap-filter(7) instead.
