[bvankampen]

Environmental Info:
RKE2 Version:
rke2 version v1.28.8+rke2r1 (42cab2f)
go version go1.21.8 X:boringcrypto

Node(s) CPU architecture, OS, and Version:
Linux pi-5 6.6.17-v8-16k+ #1735 SMP PREEMPT Wed Feb 21 14:45:17 GMT 2024 aarch64 GNU/Linux

Cluster Configuration:
Single Node

Describe the bug:
Calico-node pod crashes, log entry

Defaulted container "calico-node" out of: calico-node, flexvol-driver (init), install-cni (init)
calico-node: error while loading shared libraries: libpcap.so.0.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Calico node failed to start

Steps To Reproduce:
Install RKE2 v1.28.8 on a ARM64 node.

Additional context / logs:
Probably upstream issue projectcalico/calico#8407 fixed in v3.27.3 RKE2 is using docker.io/rancher/mirrored-calico-node:v3.27.2

Yes, the issue you link seems like the most likely cause. We must update to Calico v3.27.3
