Please uncheck "Enforce dependent" and try to install. But first, preview the installation. If all looks good you can proceed.

avoid this if you want a system in a consistent and working state. Instead, read carefully what the description on the porting center says:

Run-time dependencies: libpcap openssl

http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Networking/Admin/tcpdump-4.1.1/

download these two packages also, and install both three packages.

Obviously you want to take a network trace, so why not using nettl instead of installing another product?

start Trace:
nettl -tn 0x30800000 -e all -size 1024 -tracemax 99999 -f //raw0

stop Trace:
nettl -tf -e all

Get wireshark http://www.wireshark.org/download.html

to anylyse your raw0.TRC00* Files

This seems reasonable, start using it.
