Thanks, but I hope I solved the issue in roughly concurrent time to your reply. I read the sources test/README.test And followed the advice at: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsdg_html_chunked/ChapterTests.html So my workflow went this way: (I hope I haven't misremembered some of it.) cd wireshark mkdir build cd build/ cmake -G Ninja .. ninja ninja test-programs cd test python3 -m pytest And the tests all completed fine. Shortened, it looked like this: ============================= test session starts ============================== platform linux -- Python 3.12.8, pytest-8.3.3, pluggy-1.5.0 rootdir: /some-dir/wireshark/build configfile: pytest.ini plugins: xdist-3.6.1, typeguard-4.4.1 [...] ........................................................ [100%] =========================== short test summary info ============================ SKIPPED [1] ../test/suite_capture.py:473: Test requires capture privileges. [...] ======================= 903 passed, 17 skipped in 32.71s ======================= Which meant I could use John Thacker's advice and go with 'nocheck' option: ln -s packaging/debian/ export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nocheck ; dpkg-buildpackage I'm running newly complied different wireshark packages already and if anything goes wrong, I'll seek advice here, but so far, no issues.
