[22.5.0] nasl-cli binary linked agains old libpcap

[tuxmaster5000]

The binary package for nasl-cli will not run on RHEL8 and newer, because it use an old libpcap version.

ldd nasl-cli
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcd39b1000)
        libpcap.so.0.8 => not found
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007fc7f3f06000)
        librt.so.1 => /lib64/librt.so.1 (0x00007fc7f3cfe000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fc7f3ade000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007fc7f375c000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fc7f3558000)

        /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fc7f47ce000)

RHEL8 and newer have only libpcap.so.1

Thanks, unfortunately this is something that cannot be fixed within this release as we just have the current debian:stable as a verified target and I need to look deeper in the rust linking for that.

Fortunately nasl-cli is currently seen as a optional dependency as ospd-openvas is not configured to use nasl-cli as a default for feed-updates so it should not break the current setup when it is not available.

However if you want to use it you can build it by installing the rust tool chain and go into the rust dir and execute:

cargo build --release

this will than create a nasl-cli binary within the target directory.

I will try to come up with a explanation for the release notes to make it clear that it is an optional binary.

Thanks for it. I have rebuild it on an RHEL8 system and now it will work.
