hm, i take it back -- the error described when calling summary() in
python3 is not the same as the error described in 887804 -- on a
properly-configured python3-scapy system on debian, the functions from
scapy.pton_ntop shouldn't ever be loaded because the system inet_pton
and inet_ntop should be used instead.

This second failure can be fixed with the attached patch. one of the two
hunks of this patch is already applied upstream in 0.23, but the other
isn't yet fixed upstream, though it has been reported (see the
"forwarded" URL).
