Summary:                    iftop does not work with libpcap
Description: 
iftop does not work with the new libpcap. If I revert libpcap to version
1.0.0 version then iftop works again. See issue #[4557].

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
The problem is that the old iftop linked against SONAME-unspecific
libpcap.so leading to wrong linkage:

unstable9s% ldd /opt/csw/sbin/iftop
        /usr/lib/secure/s9_preload.so.1
        libpthread.so.1 =>       /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1
        libpcap.so =>    /opt/csw/lib/sparcv8plus/libpcap.so
        libnsl.so.1 =>   /usr/lib/libnsl.so.1
...

The issue has long been fixed in libpcap. iftop needs a rebuild against the
current libpcap.so.1.
