Bug ID: 217221
Summary: contrib/libpcap installs internal header files in
/usr/include
Product: Base System
Version: CURRENT
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: misc
Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: woods...@freebsd.org
contrib/libpcap installs *libpcap-internal* header files, pcap-int.h, as a
system header file in /usr/include.
This does not discourage programmers from including pcap-int.h and potentially
depending on internals that are not only subject to change from release to
release but that have changed *quite* a bit over time.
That header file pcap-int.h has in fact changed to include another
*libpcap-internal* header file, portability.h, which is not installed by
contrib/libpcap. The result is that any programs which do include pcap-int.h
will now fail to build as they cannot find portability.h.

This was discovered by the port sysutils/pftop includes pcap-int.h, and now
fails to build since the import of libpcap 1.8.1 in this commit:
