           Product: Ports & Packages

          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

Several ports have LIB_DEPENDS= libpcap.so:net/libpcap in their Makefile,
probably with the intent to use libpcap from ports but it'll use libpcap from
the base system, example:

https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/graphics/pcl-pointclouds/Makefile#n33
pcl-pointclouds-1.12.1_1 depends on shared library: libpcap.so - found
(/usr/lib/libpcap.so)

Can you check your port and fix or remove the dependency if libpcap from base
is good enough?
If you really need libpcap from ports you can use the following:
XXX_DEPENDS= ${LOCALBASE}/lib/libpcap.a:net/libpcap
or
XXX_DEPENDS= libpcap.so.1:net/libpcap

The affected ports are:
graphics/pcl-pointclouds
security/snort
security/arpCounterattack
security/snort3
net/addrwatch
net/ipdecap
net/ipgrab
net/ngrep
net/libdaq
dns/dnsjit
net-mgmt/tcpreplay
net-mgmt/yaf
net-mgmt/nfdump
dns/dsc

Thanks
