Building and installing libpcap by hand does not inform your package manager of it. (Installing it by hand also probably installed it into nonstandard locations which your package manager, or ./configure, would not search for libraries inside). You should undo all the changes you made and install an appropriate RPM for your system instead.

Otherwise, you will be forced to build everything by hand, and keep doing so, when you need upgrades for those packages and anything depending on them.

DH_INSTALLEXAMPLES(1)						     Debhelper						     DH_INSTALLEXAMPLES(1)

NAME

       dh_installexamples - install example files into package build directories

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installexamples [debhelperoptions] [-A] [-Xitem] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installexamples is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing examples into usr/share/doc/package/examples in package build
       directories.

FILES

       debian/package.examples
	   Lists example files or directories to be installed.

OPTIONS

       -A, --all
	   Install any files specified by command line parameters in ALL packages acted on.

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed.

       file ...
	   Install these files (or directories) as examples into the first package acted on. (Or into all packages if -A is specified.)

NOTES

       Note that dh_installexamples will happily copy entire directory hierarchies if you ask it to (similar to cp -a). If it is asked to install
       a directory, it will install the complete contents of the directory.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
