Indeed, it is no longer there is the package, so this is "expected" behavior, upgrade or otherwise...
Apparently, this was done in the Debian packaging in version 1.2.1-2: wireshark (1.2.1-2) unstable; urgency=low * added option to install dumpcap with setuid root * removed wireshark-root.desktop to discourage running Wireshark as root * dropped umask patch -- Balint Reczey <bal...@balintreczey.hu> Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:30:03 +0200 This is because running Wireshark as root potentially puts you at risk, as it could compromise your computer in the event that a malicious packet was intercepted or willingly sent to the capture device. I'm converting this to a question, in order to provide the information on how to deal with this special case. -- 9.10 Karmic upgrades removes Wireshark (as root) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471046 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
