Earlier Bart gave a list of dependencies for the gui, which is quite
extensive. Also, it was indicated that all the components of wireshark
would be delivered as a single package.

Two questions:

What external dependencies do the command line tools have? On a
minimized system, snoop will work - will the wireshark cli utilities or
do they need a lot of extra stuff?

If snoop is removed and replaced by some wireshark cli utility, should
the gui and cli components be packaged separately so as to allow
snoop functionality to be present on machines with no gui installed?
