wireshark: undefined symbol: pcap_free_datalinks

Binary package hint: wireshark

Hi,

just upgrade from jaunty to karmic, now when I run wireshark i got the error below:

"wireshark: symbol lookup error: wireshark: undefined symbol: pcap_free_datalinks"

libpcap0.8 is installed, reinstalling wireshark does not help ..

Anybody has the same behaviour ?

Thanks,
david

ok now with the 2 cmds below:

rm /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpcap.so.0.8
ln -s /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.8 /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libpcap.so.0.8

Is this symptom reproducible in a current daily-live of Lucid?

since I did the symbolic link, the problem did not happen again.
