Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Can't decrypt "snakeoil2" sample SSL session from wiki

Hi,

I have tried the test/suite-decryption.sh (from trunk-1.8.2). It seems to fail 
on my system (gentoo 64-bit).



Info of tshark  (I do see an undefined symbol error, not sure if it is related)
===========================================
../tshark -v
Could not open file: 'AlcatelLucent.xml', error: No such file or directory
/usr/src/wireshark/epan/.libs/libwireshark.so.2: undefined symbol: 
py_create_dissector_handle
TShark 1.8.3 (SVN Rev Unknown from unknown)

Copyright 1998-2012 Gerald Combs <gerald@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> and contributors.

Compiled (64-bit) with GLib 2.32.4, with libpcap, with libz 1.2.7, with POSIX
capabilities (Linux), without SMI, without c-ares, without ADNS, with Lua 5.1,
with Python 2.7.3, with GnuTLS 2.12.18, with Gcrypt 1.5.0, with MIT Kerberos,
without GeoIP.

Running on Linux 3.5.3-gentoo, with locale en_US.utf8, with libpcap version

Built using gcc 4.6.3.
===========================================



I did enable the ssl-debug-file. Contents:

===========================================

ssl_init private key file /usr/src/wireshark/test/keys/rsasnakeoil2.key 
successfully loaded.

Test suite output:

 OK

fail.

1

"DTLS Decryption" Failed!
Failed to decrypt DTLS

===================================================

I have added a echo which outputs the exitcode of the command (It is 1 ).

The same error occurs if I start the SSL test first (instead of the DTLS).

Removing the ../ssl_keys ../dtlsdecrypttablefile  ../80211_keys   has no effect.


The configure command of my build:

./configure --prefix=/usr --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu 
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --
sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=/usr/lib64 --disable-
dependency-tracking --disable-setuid-install --enable-setcap-install --enable-
wireshark --enable-ipv6 --disable-profile-build --with-libcap --with-gcrypt --
without-geoip --with-krb5 --with-lua --with-dumpcap-group=wireshark --with-
pcap --without-portaudio --with-python --without-libsmi --with-gnutls --with-
zlib --disable-extra-gcc-checks --disable-usr-local --
sysconfdir=/etc/wireshark --without-adns --without-c-ares



I am unable to downgrade my gnutls library, I am afraid it will break too much 
on my system.






Kind regards,

Bas Nedermeijer
