Hello Hadrien, please file a new bug with instructions on how to reproduce
this issue. I wasn't able to reproduce it on my 18.04 LTS laptop:

$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get purge wireshark && sudo apt-get install 
wireshark
[...]
$ ls -l /usr/bin/dumpcap
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 100560 Feb 26 01:45 /usr/bin/dumpcap

Thanks
