I don't see the string "Could not get major" anywhere in the CVS files
for tcpdump or libpcap on the tcpdump.org CVS machine, which means that
it doesn't appear to be in any version of tcpdump or libpcap that we've
put out *or* in the LBL 0.4 libpcap or 3.4 tcpdump.

Where did you get that binary package for tcpdump?  You might want to
ask whoever produced the package what the message means.

I wouldn't necessarily assume that; try running it as root.
