I keep getting errors on this (libpcap) port, using macports. Would anybody be kind enough to tell me if this package is being maintained? I apologize if I am breaking any rules of Qs, but this is my first version (10.5.x) macosx ever trying to use macports (have used only fink up to and including 10.4.x):

Only the maintainer of the libpcap port can tell you if he is actively maintaining the port. If you get no response from the maintainer within 72 hours, someone else can try to fix the problem.

As I've already told you, this bug has already been reported: http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/13802 As you see in the ticket notes, the maintainer has been quite active in trying to resolve this problem, a possible workaround has been found, and he is waiting on you to confirm whether the solution works for you. You should have been receiving email for every change made to the ticket, since I added you to its Cc list a week ago. Please try the workaround listed there and add a note to the ticket to let the maintainer know whether or not it worked for you.
