   Update from the #1104 fix (#1149). This does not share #1104's cause. Every engine, including the default one, fails with format='pcap'. The failure is at extraction.py:1193, where Extractor.__init__ creates the output writer before any engine or header step has run, so the link type that PCAPIO needs does not exist yet. The fix is to create the writer later.

   Blocked until #1149 merges, because both edit extraction.py.
