Wireshark on Kali linux

[Dario Lombardo <lomato () gmail com>]

Hi
Today I found out an annoying issue on kali. It ships with a pretty new
version of wireshark, but when you launch it, an issue raises. This post
describes the issue and proposes a fix, too.

I know that the problem is how kali runs wireshark (as root) and that it
should be avoided, but this is how kali works and I don't think they will
change their mind. Moreover from the perspective of a kali user, it really
looks like a bug in wireshark and not in kali.

I am planning to solve it somehow. What about the solution proposed in the
post? I could embed it in the debian package when installed on kali. That
would solve the issue, but do we want to do it? And do we want to do it
this way?
I'd like to hear some opinion.
Thanks
Dario.
