2020-06-29 20:28:57 Sergio Durigan Junior description libpcap-dev (and its derivative packages libpcap0.8-dev) is missing the libpcap.pc file. The implication here is that any autoconf based project that uses the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro to determine the install state of libpcap fails, as pkg-config can't find the install information [Impact] Users of libpcap cannot make use of its pkg-config file in order to automate the building process of applications that use the library, because the file is not being installed on Ubuntu bionic. [Test Case] $ lxc launch ubuntu-daily:bionic libpcap-bug1865501 $ lxc shell libpcap-bug1865501 # apt update # apt install libpcap-dev pkg-config -y # pkg-config libpcap --libs You will see an error like this: Package libpcap was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpcap.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'libpcap' found [Regression Potential] - The libpcap package will be rebuilt using newer dependencies on bionic, which might cause some unforeseen problem. The chances for this to happen are very small, though. - Users who created their own pkg-config file as a workaround should not see any problems with the new file, as long as they are correctly providingthe right parameters in their own files. [Original Description] libpcap-dev (and its derivative packages libpcap0.8-dev) is missing the libpcap.pc file. The implication here is that any autoconf based project that uses the PKG_CHECK_MODULES macro to determine the install state of libpcap fails, as pkg-config can't find the install information
