bonded interface causes error in wireshark

[mgriepentrog]

When a bonded interface is up the following error is reported by Wireshark: "Can't get list of interfaces: SIOCGIFFLAGS: bonding_masters: No such device"

This has been reported as a bug in libpcap with a fix released here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=469579&aid=2993250&group_id=53067

Verified that this patch has not been applied to the package source of version 1.1.1-2 and in the git repo (http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=users/rfrancoise/libpcap.git).

Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. It has already been fixed upstream in libpcap, and that fix has automatically been applied to the current development version of Ubuntu. That is why I am marking this bug as 'Fix Released'.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please do steps 1 and 2 of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

Please backport the package from oneric ocelot as it has the patch applied.

[Evan Huus (eapache)]

Slava, if you require this fix in a previous version, you should request a Stable Release Update by following the procedure at [1]. A full backport is unnecessary since there are no new features in the new version, simply bugfixes.
