Package: wireshark Version: 1.2.1-2 Severity: normal Hello, I used to have a Wireshark (as root) menu item under Internet (in gnome at least) which was useful for running wireshark with root privileges. Now I only see the normal Wireshark menu item, which starts the program with user privileges. You know that you can't sniff without being root, so every time I have to run wireshark from a root terminal. Why has it been removed?
