Template: wireshark-common/install-setuid Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Should non-superusers be able to capture packets? 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. Template: wireshark-common/addgroup-failed Type: error _Description: Creating the wireshark system group failed The wireshark group does not exist, and creating it failed, so Wireshark cannot be configured to capture traffic as an unprivileged user. . Please create the wireshark system group and try configuring wireshark-common again. Template: wireshark-common/group-is-user-group Type: error _Description: The wireshark group is a system group The wireshark group exists as a user group, but the preferred configuration is for it to be created as a system group. . As a result, purging wireshark-common will not remove the wireshark group, but everything else should work properly. Template: wireshark-common/setcap-failed Type: error _Description: Setting capabilities for dumpcap failed The attempt to use Linux capabilities to grant packet-capturing privileges to the dumpcap binary failed. Instead, it has had the set-user-id bit set. Template: wireshark-common/group-removal-failed Type: error _Description: Removal of the wireshark group failed When the wireshark-common package is configured to allow non-superusers to capture packets the postinst script of wireshark-common creates the wireshark group as a system group. . However, on this system the wireshark group is a user group instead of being a system group, so purging wireshark-common did not remove it. . If the group is no longer needed, please remove it manually.
