scavenger-capture required packages

If you wish to run the scavenger-capture module, you will need to install the python-libpcap and python-pypcap packages.

  # apt-get install python2.5-libpcap
  # apt-get install python2.5-pypcap

Due to [bug 304086](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-pypcap/+bug/304086] we have to install dpkt from source.

  # wget http://dpkt.googlecode.com/files/dpkt-1.6.tar.gz
  # tar zxvf dpkt-1.6.tar.gz
  # cd dpkt-1.6
  # python setup.py install
  # cd -
  # rm -rf dpkt-1.6
  # rm dpkt-1.6.tar.gz

scavenger-action-netfilter required packages

If you wish to run the scavenger-netfilter module, you will need to install the python-netfilter package.

  # wget http://opensource.bolloretelecom.eu/files/python-netfilter-0.5.5.tar.gz
  # tar zxvf python-netfilter-0.5.5.tar.gz
  # cd python-netfilter-0.5.5
  # python setup.py install
  # cd -
  # rm -rf python-netfilter-0.5.5
  # rm python-netfilter-0.5.5.tar.gz
