avahi-autoipd errors out with "pcap_next_ex: " on BSD (avahi 0.6.21)

Description

When I try to run avahi-autoipd on my FreeBSD 6.1 system, it'll sit there happy for a little while, then error out with this:

Aug 22 20:22:40 <3.3> zc-1(id1) avahi-autoipd(em0)[74597]: pcap_next_ex:

I'm running a self-compiled avahi on a bastardized, closed-box FreeBSD derivative. I'll assign this to myself for now, as I realize you have no BSD maintainers.

Also, you have no avahi-autoipd component in Trac.

  • summary changed from avahi-autoipd errors out with "pcap_next_ex: " on BSD to avahi-autoipd errors out with "pcap_next_ex: " on BSD (avahi 0.6.21).

There are several things interacting here. First off, pcap_next_ex may return 0 if the filtering is done in userspace and the search window has nothing filter-positive. That explains the error above. However, there's a deeper problem in the BSD implementation, at least on my 6.1 based system. I'll open a separate ticket for that.
