commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=b01d463c14060318743ce5d0a2da01a5b3a5e0e2
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

The optional dbus dependency of libpcap creates a circular dependency
chain:

$ make libpcap-show-recursive-depends

Recursion detected for  : systemd
which is a dependency of: dbus
which is a dependency of: libpcap
which is a dependency of: iptables
which is a dependency of: systemd
make: *** [package/libpcap/libpcap.mk:55: libpcap-show-recursive-depends] Error 1

Of all these dependencies the one of libpcap on dbus seems to be less
useful. Drop it.
