"Searched the web for uses obsolete PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET.   Results 1 - 10 of
about 862. Search took 0.21 seconds"

I think it depends on the path you take, some find the comma meaningful and
look for the phrase 'uses obsolete PF-INET', others such as the Google
toolbar ignore it...

Anyway, I run libpcap-0.6.2-16 and libpcap-0.7.x without issues.  Though
that's a RedHat 0.6.2 so there could be patches pulled from later versions
into it... vs. a native libpcap 0.6.2

Now searching for libpcap PF_INET SOCK_PACKET site:tcpdump.org finds a small
# of interesting hits, including:

On Linux, if you want to sniff packets, you would use PF_PACKET/SOCK_RAW
or PF_PACKET/SOCK_DGRAM sockets (or, in 2.0-kernel systems,
PF_INET/SOCK_PACKET, but that mechanism isn't as nice).  See the
"packet(7)" man page.

And this one, http://www.tcpdump.org/lists/workers/2002/02/msg00017.html
(which seems to indicate that the magic release # is 0.7.2)

AFAIK, it's griping at you, but the offending facility hasn't been ripped
out of the 2.4 kernels, so it should actually work...

Yes, but googling for :
ntop "uses obsolete PF_INET,SOCK_PACKET"
finds only 9 hits ;)

But at all events, thank you for the answer and sorry if i bothered the
list.
I'll try a newer version instead of using the one of Debian.
