Yes the problem still exists in 11.04:

$ sudo dumpcap -i eth0 -w ~/test.cap
[sudo] password for sune: 
The file to which the capture would be saved ("/home/sune/test.cap") could not 
be opened: Permission denied.

What DOES work, however,  is this:

$ touch ~/test.cap
$ sudo chown root:root ~/test.cap
$ sudo dumpcap -i eth0 -w ~/test.cap

I will run apport-collect, thanks
