Version: 1.8.1-6ubuntu1.18.04.2 2020-08-31 15:06:53 UTC

  libpcap (1.8.1-6ubuntu1.18.04.2) bionic; urgency=medium

  * Install pkg-config file for libpcap (LP: #1865501).
    - d/p/set-package-name-with-ac-init.patch: Set the PACKAGE_NAME
      variable using autoconf's AC_INIT macro, so that we can use it
      in the libpcap.pc.in file.
    - d/p/use-m4-macro-to-get-version.patch: Use an M4 macro to
      execute a "cat" command and obtain the version from the VERSION
      file.
    - d/p/install-pkg-config-file.patch: New patch from upstream,
      which creates a libpcap.pc.in file and adjusts the Makefile to
      install it.
    - d/libpcap0.8-dev.install: Install libpcap.pc pkg-config file.
      Thanks to Luca Boccassi for the Debian patch (Closes #922219).
