Details

Description:

After I start a capture in wireshark, I see a few packets, but then no more packets seem to be captured. When this happens, I see messages like this in the terminal where I ran wireshark:

this can be solved with recompiling the package with --without-zlib

we had this issue in the past but it was somehow fixed
