[PATCH v2] pcapng: allow any protocol link type for the interface block

[Dylan Schneider]

Hey Thomas, just wanted to confirm,  I see the ARM build passing in CI. Is there a reason it would pass there but not on your dev machine?

Hey Thomas,
Thanks for the reply.
Can you tell me the build command you're using to produce those errors? I have ran the builds on my test machine and cannot reproduce these. Thanks!
Dylan
