Actually it is not news - it happened with the new 4.99 tcpdump version starting 2 years ago. But most binary distributions still lack this version. So, I had to install it from sources even on the RHEL 9, the newest version. The steps are simple:
-
Download sources:
wget https://www.tcpdump.org/release/tcpdump-4.99.3.tar.gz -
Install, if not already,
libpcapheaders:yum install libpcap-devel -
Compile the

cd tcpdump-4.99.3/
./configure
make; make install
