Hi Nigel, This problem is probably not related to wireshark, but to your default browser. Wireshark executes sensible-browser http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup to open the help page in your default browser.
Please verify that this command fails, too. You can locate your configured browser's executable by following the symbolic links starting with: ls -alh /usr/bin/gnome-www-browser Please reassign this bug to the browser's package if the command fails without using Wireshark, too.
