Hello!
During a recent upgrade, I noticed that 'net-analyzer/iftop' now
needs 'net-libs/libpcap' with the 'ipv6' USE flag. It seemed strange to
me and I decided to ask here. Does 'iftop' really needs IPv6? Can't it
be optional?
Thank you.
Vladimir

It's an upstream bug, if they consider it one. From the Gentoo ChangeLog:
30 May 2012; Lars Wendler <polynomial-c@gentoo.org> iftop-
1.0_pre2.ebuild:
Non-maintainer commit: We need libpcap with ipv6 support or else iftop
doesn't work at all.
I downloaded the latest iftop tarball and,
1 There is no ./configure option for ipv6
2 Compiling it against libpcap without ipv6 support works, but it
crashes at runtime:
$ sudo ./iftop
...
set_filter_code: ip6 not supported

Hm... That's bad.
