Is it this message?
dumpcap: There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done
Dumpcap is printing this error through the cmdarg_err() function. When
dumpcap is run as a capture child of Wireshark, it sends the special
format messages via pipes back to Wireshark. However, when Wireshark is
just checking the interface list, it doesn't appear to run dumpcap as a
capture child since Wireshark isn't ready to listen for any errors
dumpcap produces. Compounding this problem is the fact that going to
the interfaces in the preferences makes dumpcap print this message
again, when it should just be ignored.
