            Bug ID: 242332
           Summary: net/vde2: missing shared library if net/libpcap is
                    installed during build but removed afterwards
           Product: Ports & Packages

The Makefile of net/vde2 includes this line:

LIB_DEPENDS=    libpcap.so:net/libpcap

Since libpcap.so exists in base, it does not pull in any dependency:

===>   vde2-2.3.2_4 depends on shared library: libpcap.so - found
(/usr/lib/libpcap.so)

However, vde2 seems to prefer libpcap from ports to the one in base. If libpcap
from ports is present in the build environment, vde2 links to it but the
dependency isn't registered into pkg. Therefore, it is possible for users to
type 'pkg autoremove' to remove libpcap and cause 'pkg check' to show:

vde2 is missing a required shared library: libpcap.so.1
