Package: wireshark-common
Version: 1.6.3-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

When I installed wireshark-common, the wireshark group was not
automatically added to my system (that was probably months ago, but I
only noticed it today).

I manually added the wireshark group, added myself to it, and re ran
the postinst configure.

Afterwards, I still was not able to run wireshark as a normal user.

I had to manually run the setcap cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin=eip
/usr/bin/dumpcap command before it worked.

Greetings
Marc
