There seems to be something wrong with the html documentation generation. (Text files seem unaffected.)

A few days ago I noticed that some of the pcap related links were showing the tcpdump html man page.

Now, many of the pcap pages appear to be blank. i.e. https://www.tcpdump.org/manpages/pcap.3pcap.html

That page isn't blank now...

...it's now a tcpdump man page.

And https://www.tcpdump.org/manpages/tcpdump.1.html is now...

...the pcap.3pcap man page!

(This is probably an issue with the website's repository; moving to that repository's issus list.)

Regenerate man pages.

This is on Ubuntu 24.04, and the formatter (groff, or whatever) does
right-justification differently, as well as fixing some hyphenation
issues, e.g. it no longer tries to hyphenat XXXBSD as XXXX-BSD.

(Also done to see if this fixes the weirdness in issue #39.)

Problem confirmed. This may be a web server cache malfunction, let me see.

The HTTP response content is back to normal now and is supposed to stay this way. Thank you very much for reporting this problem.

If this occurs again, it will be detected automatically. Closing.

For posterity, the cache malfunction persisted long enough for various search engines to ingest the incorrect contents, so for a while Internet search for "tcpdump" or one of the libpcap function names was returning weird results from tcpdump.org. After fixing the problem it took another couple weeks for the correct contents to propagate, then things got back to normal.
