Bug#860611: dsniff: FTBFS: ld: cannot find -lmissing

Hi,

I just checked the build log. I think the problem is that the Makefile
does not properly enforce the correct build order: PROGS actually
depend on libmissing.a. The build log shows that, at the time of the
build error, libmissing.a is not yet build (but tried to link against).
I suspect the problem surfaced due to the level of parallelism on the
buildd (-j 64).


I've prepared a minimal patch against version 2.4b1+debian-24
(currently in stretch) that should be suitable for an unblock, see
attachment.

If you want I can push that into our git repo, tag it as new release
and then merge that commit into our development branch (bumping the
version for the newer changes when merging the commit log).


Thanks
Lukas
