Description:
After having this issue in several computers, I realized that the install script is not prepared to have already set up a wireshark group, if it doesn't follow the one assigned in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:UID_/_GID_Database

If gid 150 is assumed and is something standard, the installation should fail if the gid for wireshark group is not 150. If pre-exisisting group is meant to be supported, installation script should trigger a chgrp too.

The problem supporting the pre-existing group is that the removal of the packet will trigger the removal of the group.
This task depends upon

I think this report has been a mistake and the issue can be solved on the wiki.
