libnet error

[Jonathan Steel]

Hi David, MOTU

I have discovered a bug in libnet1 on a 64 bit Ubuntu machine. I'm sure the problem is from the original source as well, but since the homepage for libnet1 seems to not exist anymore, I can't tell.

Basically the issue is that some of the data types were not explicitly declared to use a certain byte width, and so the structs differ on a 64 bit machine in a way they are not supposed to.

Here is a bug report on the issue:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnet/+bug/394784

My company is going to just branch off from your package until the bug is fixed, but I just wanted to make the developers of libnet know about the problem. Looks like you guys are the only ones I can find working on this library.

Thanks
