 Replying to [comment:1 hellais]:
 > What if you try to install ooniprobe from pip?
 After running
 {{{
 emerge net-misc/tor
 emerge dev-libs/libdnet
 emerge net-libs/libpcap
 emerge dev-python/pypcap
 emerge dev-python/pip
 emerge dev-libs/geoip
 emerge dev-python/geoip-python
 emerge dev-libs/libffi
 emerge dev-python/six
 emerge net-analyzer/tcpdump
 }}}
 ,
 {{{
 pip install ooniprobe
 }}}
 succeeds and
 {{{
 ooniprobe -i /usr/share/ooni/decks/complete.deck
 }}}
 appears to be working (as far as I could tell), but I'm not sure that's
 enough for general setup instructions... It isn't just that it might stop
 working for different versions of these packages; Gentoo has a way of
 selecting package features ("USE flags") for each installation, and I
 really don't know which of the flags I have are necessary. Also, pypcat is
 currently masked (Gentoo-speak for packages either insufficiently tested
 or demonstrably too buggy to be really supported) and had to be enabled
 explicitly - why, I have no idea...
