Binary package hint: wireshark

On Maverick, x86-64 in a root shell (from sudo -s)

run wireshark

Click on an interface (eth0, virbr0 or the meta device for everything)

it hangs for a few seconds and then asserts with:

ERROR:capture.c:177:capture_start: assertion failed: (capture_opts->state == CAPTURE_STOPPED)

backtrace:
