Package: wireshark-common Version: 2.6.1-1 Severity: normal After running
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common I am getting the following message: >Dumpcap can be installed in a way that allows members of the "wireshark" >system group to capture packets. This is recommended over the alternative of >running Wireshark/Tshark directly as root, because less of the code will run >with elevated privileges. > > >For more detailed information please see /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/ >README.Debian. > >Enabling this feature may be a security risk, so it is disabled by default. >If in doubt, it is suggested to leave it disabled. > >Should non-superusers be able to capture packets? > The problem is that the referened file /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/ README.Debian doesn't exist.
