Description Stuart Shelton 2013-08-04 18:22:21 UTC 
Up to wireshark-1.10.1, wireshark could be built with USE="-gtk" to avoid requiring any X11 dependancies and installing only 'tshark', the the command-line version of the tool.

However, wireshark-1.10.1-r1 uses the '^^' USE-flag operator which means that "gtk2" or "gtk3" or "qt" *must* be specified.

This appears to be an oversight, as there are still code-paths for having none of these options selected.

A single-line fix which still allows wireshark-1.10.1-r1/tshark to be built without X dependancies is to replace '^^' with '??':
