13_Description: Should non-superusers be able to capture packets?
14 Dumpcap can be installed in a way that allows members of the "wireshark"
15 system group to capture packets. This is recommended over the
16 alternative of running Wireshark/Tshark directly as root, because
17 less of the code will run with elevated privileges.
18 .
19 For more detailed information please see
20 /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/README.Debian.
21 .
22 Enabling this feature may be a security risk, so it is disabled by
23 default. If in doubt, it is suggested to leave it disabled.

27_Description: Creating the wireshark system group failed
28 The wireshark group does not exist, and creating it failed, so
29 Wireshark cannot be configured to capture traffic as an unprivileged
30 user.
31 .
32 Please create the wireshark system group and try configuring
33 wireshark-common again.

37_Description: The wireshark group is a system group
38 The wireshark group exists as a user group, but the preferred
39 configuration is for it to be created as a system group.
40 .
41 As a result, purging wireshark-common will not remove the wireshark
42 group, but everything else should work properly.

44Template: wireshark-common/setcap-failed
45Type: error
46_Description: Setting capabilities for dumpcap failed
47 The attempt to use Linux capabilities to grant packet-capturing
48 privileges to the dumpcap binary failed. Instead, it has had the
49 set-user-id bit set.

51Template: wireshark-common/group-removal-failed
52Type: error
53_Description: Removal of the wireshark group failed
54 When the wireshark-common package is configured to allow
55 non-superusers to capture packets the postinst script of
56 wireshark-common creates the wireshark group as a system group.
57 .
58 However, on this system the wireshark group is a user group instead of
59 being a system group, so purging wireshark-common did not remove it.
60 .
61 If the group is no longer needed, please remove it manually.
