First, pcapy isn't anything I support, so this is just my thoughts on it, but not anything I can help a ton on.

1. For windows, I've never had any luck getting pcapy installed, there should be a way to do it, but it requires some header files from what I recall to make it work. On linux I bleieve these headers are part of libpcap-dev

2. Installing it on ubuntu and redhat have been the primary linux builds I've done. I'll try building a debian box later this week and check it out more.

You can try pcapyplus instead of pcapy, I got it setup to work instead of pcapy due to some oddities I ran into with pcapy on riscv and have continued to use pcapyplus on lots of my builds. Code in satori will work with either pcapy or pcapyplus.

For Debian 12.5 use pcapyplus instead of pcapy. Just verified it installs properly on Debian 12.5.
