I think than You run older version tcpdump:

This is the answer:
libpcap.so.0.8 => /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8 (0x002c9000)
Linked to old version.

You must :
1) Download 
git clone git://bpf.tcpdump.org/libpcap 
git clone git://bpf.tcpdump.org/tcpdump
2) Uninstall current version tcpdump and libpcap from system. Make sure than You remove (or move to old) libpcap and 
tcpdump from (find / -name "libpcap.*").
3) Install libpcap and tcpdump  from downloaded source. After install libpcap remove libpcap.so.* from libpcap dir to 
sure than tcpdump is not builded from *.so libs.
