While the name of the libpcap package is libpcap0.8 on linux
systems (at the very least on debian based ones), the code it's
built from is a later version (currently 1.1.1).<br>
<br>
The command "apt-get source libpcap0.8" yields a tar of the
original libpcap-1.1.1 source, a tar of debian changes, and a
directory named libpcap-1.1.1/ containing the source with the debian
changes applied.<br>
<br>
I think that the package will probably always be called libpcap0.8,
and should be perfectly safe for use with programs that require at
least libpcap version 0.9.<br>
