Package: wireshark Severity: normal By default, the 'wireshark' group is not created. The configuration dialog was not shown when doing 'apt-get install wireshark' in a clean installation, maybe because of apt settings. It appears correctly with dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common, but defaults to not create the group. It really may be a security risk? I don't see as such, as the only one can add users to the wireshark group is root.
