Why is it a problem if you only have RPMs?

Is it because you're not running Linux, or because you're running a  
non-RPM-based Linux (e.g., Debian or Ubuntu)?

That's not where you download it; that's where you browsed it when it  
was stored in CVS.  It's now stored in Git; if you want to get the top- 
of-tree source code, you need to get it with Git - see "Anonymous GIT"  
on

        http://www.tcpdump.org/

but that'd get you the raw source, *not* an installable package.   
You'd have to install it yourself, and it would install a separate  
version of libpcap from any libpcap that comes with your {Linux, BSD,  
Mac OS X, ...} system.
