Check which libraries exist on your system:

rpm -ql libpcap-0.8.-3

Now that you know exactly which library was installed on your system, 
you can consider something like the line below, taking advantage of the 
fact that libraries are (usually) backwards compatible.

ln -s /usr/lib/<lib_that_exists> /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.0.2

Note that installing the old libpcap directly may give better results.
