Hi,
the update to tcpdump 4.6.2 also lost svn272451 and 272653 (addition of
CAP_EVENT to the capabilities given to tcpdump).
Given this and the other bug fixed in 277638, I am not sure if there
are other local changes that have been lost in the merge.
Also I wonder whether there is something we should have done
differently when applying local changes to code in contrib/ to make
sure that the merge from vendor does not overwrite them ?
cheers

FWIW, I think what happened here is that upstream merged
our capsicum changes only partially and the corresponding clash
made it difficult to understand what came from where.
If our local changes are too big and upstream is very active,
this complexity is unavoidable but it is always good to try to
upstream all that we can, and the tcpdump maintainers have
been rather open to taking changes.
Cheers,
Pedro.
