Could you explain to me why ethereal needs rebuilding if the spec file
only states Requires libpcap >= 0.6? How and why does this static
dependency to libpcap.so.0.8.1 gets created? Why doesn't libpcap-0.8.3
satisfy this dependency? Any way to avoid this static version dependency
getting created?
In general, it looks like a lot of work to have to recreate all binaries
when a library gets updated.
Leonard.
