Comment 1 Dave Hodgins 2022-07-30 02:17:55 CEST
Neither libpcap nor tcptraceroute have been updated since Mageia 8 was
released so this looks like it was introduced during Mageia 8 development.
Surprising that no-one has reported this previously.

Assigning to all packagers as neither package has a dedicated maintainer.

Setting the priority to low as the message is cosmetic.
