Package: tshark
Version: 1.2.11-6+squeeze9
Severity: normal

I believe the stable release of tshark to have dysfunctional Lua support. The
expected behavior is to see the output of the Lua script. Instead, nothing is
printed. It should be noted that the 1.8.2-2 on 7.0 handles this appropriately.

Freshly installed 6.0.7 on a VM

jenders@debian:~$ cat hello.lua
print("Hello tireless maintainers!")

jenders@debian:~$ tshark -X lua_script:hello.lua
tshark: There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done

Same steps on 7.0 with tshark version 1.8.2-2

$ tshark -X lua_script:hello.lua
Hello tireless maintainers!
