Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libnet-pcap-perl

This bug was sent manually, but the text was written to a template, as I
have several similar bugs to report today.  Please see my recent bug
reports for a list, or bug #391165 for the root cause.

Version 0.16-1 of libnet-pcap-perl has a missing line-end comma in the
"Build-Dependencies" section of debian/control.  There should be a comma
in the area marked by ***asterisks***:

Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7), perl (>= 5.8), libpcap0.8-dev***
 ***libtest-pod-perl

This appears to have been fixed in Karmic, but you may wish to consider
releasing a bugfix in Jaunty.

I haven't tested the exact effects of this issue in libnet-pcap-perl.
It might be that these dependencies are unnecessary and can be removed,
or it might be that some features are silently disabled (see bug #365770
for an example).  If the dependencies should stay, the bug can be fixed
by inserting a comma in the marked area.
