Bug Description

Binary package hint: python-libpcap

python-libpcap (0.6.1+cvs.2007.07.28-2) and python-pypcap (1.1.2+debian-1) each provide a Python module called 'pcap'. python-libpcap provides /usr/share/pycentral/python-libpcap/site-packages/pcap.py, which gets symlinked into /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages. python-pypcap provides /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/pcap.so. If both packages are installed, the -pypcap module is used when 'import pcap' is executed by the Python interpreter.

This is all under Intrepid, recently updated.

Someone who has stronger launchpad-fu should link this bug to python-pypcap.
