[Bug 1393373] Re: Please backport tcpdump 4.5.1-2ubuntu1 (main) from trusty

[Louis Bouchard]

This version builds fine on Precise without any modification.  All
Depends & Build-Depends tested OK.

** Description changed:

  Please backport tcpdump 4.5.1-2ubuntu1 (main) from trusty to precise.
  
  Reason for the backport:
  ========================
- There is a comparatively new feature in TCP called TCP Fast Open (TFO) which adds new TCP header options. These header options are unknown to the currently deployed version of tcpdump (4.2.1-1ubuntu2). They are known to version 4.5.1 and later of tcpdump.

  Testing:
  ========
  Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
  
  You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
  $ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s trusty -d precise tcpdump
  
  * precise:
  [X] Package builds without modification
  [X] tcpdump installs cleanly and runs
  
  Reverse dependencies:
  =====================
  The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of tcpdump. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new tcpdump. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new tcpdump installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.
