Description:
When I run wireshark as sudo I get this error:
Lua: Error during loading: [string "/usr/share/wireshark/init.lua"]:45: dofile has been disabled

Additional info:
* package version(s)
wireshark-gtk 1.8.0-1

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:
1. sudo wireshark
2. A pop-up window appears with this error:
Lua: Error during loading: [string "/usr/share/wireshark/init.lua"]:45: dofile has been disabled
3. I click OK, then wireshark starts but with no root permissions. If I click "available capture interfaces" button I get this error: "There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done."
4. If I navigate to Proprieties -> Capture -> Edit Interfaces, I get this error: "Can't get list of interfaces: Can't open netlink socket 93:Protocol not supported".
This task depends upon
