[Libguestfs] libguestfs-tools failure that I can't figure out

[Ben Wellborn]

I'm not sure of the history of the server's libpcap install.  Too many
chefs and only one pot.  I know, that doesn't help.  Your question did
prompt me to check versions and discover that there's a 1.9.0 version in
the BaseOS repo.  I removed the previous package and loaded the new one.

a quick ldd test
~]# ldd /usr/lib/systemd/systemd | grep libpcap
    libpcap.so.1 => /lib64/libpcap.so.1 (0x00007fc395a38000)

but when I ran virt-sysprep it complains about libpcap again:
"systemd-tmpfiles: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.1:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

I guess I jumped the gun on updating libpcap.
