At startup wireshark prints:
[Errno 2] Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden:
'/usr/lib/wireshark/python/1.4.4/wspy_dissectors'

I can reproduce this bug by starting a capture and waiting a few seconds. Then
wireshark stops recording packages and prints this to the terminal:


18:57:32          Warn Error "Less data was read than was expected" while
reading: "/tmp/wiresharkXXXXCtkHL3"

18:57:33          Warn Error "File contains a record that's not valid" while
reading: "/tmp/wiresharkXXXXCtkHL3"

18:57:34          Warn Error "File contains a record that's not valid" while
reading: "/tmp/wiresharkXXXXCtkHL3"

[...] and repeatedly prints them...

I am running wireshark from a terminal where I am root.
