Whenever wireshark is capturing and the "restart capture" toolbutton is pressed wireshark stops capturing but does not restart due to an error (status bar flashing) complaining there is no selected interface to capture from, Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.choose an interface to capture from (i.e. eth0) 2.start capturing 3.press the green restart capture toolbutton Actual Results: the capture does not restart since there's no interface selected Expected Results: it should have restart the capture on the interface(s) it was capturing before Here are the uses of wireshark compilation and then emerge info follow: neverland ~ # equery uses wireshark [ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation] [ : I - package is installed with flag ] [ Colors : set, unset ] * Found these USE flags for net-analyzer/wireshark-2.0.1: U I - - adns : Use the GNU net-dns/c-ares library to resolve DNS names - - androiddump : Install androiddump + + caps : Use Linux capabilities library to control privilege + + cpu_flags_x86_sse4_2 : Enable SSE4.2 instruction support + + crypt : Use dev-libs/libgcrypt to decrypt traffic - - doc : Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc).

Thank you for the comprehensive report. It looks to me like a bug in the sourcecode of wireshark but not the gentoo ebuild file. Please report it to the wireshark developers, or provide information why this bug could have something to do with the gentoo package itself and reopen this bug.
