+Template: wireshark-common/install-setuid
+Type: boolean
+Default: false
+_Description: Should non-superusers be able to capture packets?
+ Dumpcap can be installed in a way that allows members of the "wireshark"
+ system group to capture packets. This is recommended over the
+ alternative of running Wireshark/Tshark directly as root, because
+ less of the code will run with elevated privileges.
+ .
+ For more detailed information please see
+ /usr/share/doc/wireshark-common/README.Debian.
+ .
+ Enabling this feature may be a security risk, so it is disabled by
+ default. If in doubt, it is suggested to leave it disabled.

+Template: wireshark-common/addgroup-failed
+Type: error
+_Description: Creating the wireshark system group failed
+ The wireshark group does not exist, and creating it failed, so
+ Wireshark cannot be configured to capture traffic as an unprivileged
+ user.
+ .
+ Please create the wireshark system group and try configuring
+ wireshark-common again.
+
+Template: wireshark-common/group-is-user-group
+Type: error
+_Description: The wireshark group is a system group
+ The wireshark group exists as a user group, but the preferred
+ configuration is for it to be created as a system group.
+ .
+ As a result, purging wireshark-common will not remove the wireshark
+ group, but everything else should work properly.
+
+Template: wireshark-common/setcap-failed
+Type: error
+_Description: Setting capabilities for dumpcap failed
+ The attempt to use Linux capabilities to grant packet-capturing
+ privileges to the dumpcap binary failed. Instead, it has had the
+ set-user-id bit set.
+
+Template: wireshark-common/group-removal-failed
+Type: error
+_Description: Removal of the wireshark group failed
+ When the wireshark-common package is configured to allow
+ non-superusers to capture packets the postinst script of
+ wireshark-common creates the wireshark group as a system group.
+ .
+ However, on this system the wireshark group is a user group instead of
+ being a system group, so purging wireshark-common did not remove it.
+ .
+ If the group is no longer needed, please remove it manually.
