Your guess is wrong, it was due to libpcap being linked against
libibverbs to be able to decode IB packets which in turn pulled in
rdma-core, I split out the one library into libibverbs-core to pull in
the bare minimum pieces that would never be used in the vast majority
of use cases, but the maintainer didn't like that, rdma-core itself
can now be removed, and shouldn't be pulled in for the latest rawhide
images, but libibverbs still has a lot of stuff that doesn't need to
be there for non IB users, but now I'm ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ because it's like
arguing with a wall. Details in:
