tcpslice: cannot accept captures with zero or one packet

[Sam Roberts]

Package: tcpslice
Version: 1.2a3-2ubuntu1
Severity: important
Tags: patch


tcpslice fails on packet captures with zero or one packet in them. Given
an arbitrary set of captures, it is entirely possible that some of them
don't have packets or have small numbers of packets.

It is not easy to determine how many packets are in a capture, and
tcpslice itself will write captures with zero or one packets if that is
how many are found in a slice.

This is easily reproduceable with tcpslice by running it with -R to find
the time of the first/last packet in a capture, then creating slices
that have the last packet and no packets.
