Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Warning about radius directory

Team,

I notice that wireshark emits unconditionally warning mentioning that it
Could not find the radius directory.

I do not think that radius dictionary is needed for operation in all
environments, is is possible to move this output to some kind of
diagnostics mode?

Based on my search, it appears there for some time:
http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-bugs/200610/msg00501.html

I applied following patch:

        } else {
                dict = NULL;
-               dict_err_str = g_strdup("Could not find the radius directory");
        }

        g_free(dir);


Thanks
