There was a recent Wireshark update and now it doesn't work. If I try to start it from the command line, I get the error message "wireshark: error while loading shared libraries: libwiretap.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". However, the Wireshark file list shows /usr/lib64/libwiretap.so.6, which is linked to libwiretap.so.6.0.0. I then created a libwiretap.so.5 link to libwiretap.so.6.0.0 and it now chokes on libwireshark.so.6, but libwireshark.so.8 is there.
Looks like someone goofed with the update.
Found the problem. It appears the command for starting Wireshark changed from "wireshark" to "wireshark-gtk". I had long used just wireshark and the cached "Wireshark" in my start menu also tried to start the old "wireshare", but the menu item System>Monitor>Wireshark was correct. I use Wireshark so often I normally use the cached one at the top of the start menu, instead of having to dig down through the menu. I'll also add a symlink from wireshark-gtk to wireshark so that I don't see this problem at the command line either. Moral of the story, if the cached version at the top of the menu doesn't work, try going directly to the original menu item. ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
