lbpcap - yet again - Q

[Stefmit]

I have already replied to a few people who have been involved in the process, 
via direct email, that the workaround did not fix the problem. I am not sure 
if any one of them is the maintainer, or not. I will take another look at the 
ticket, to see if it's been updated.

Thanks,
Stefan
