tag 250835 + wontfix retitle 250835 wireshark/tshark: complaining on ~/.wireshark/preferences thanks Wireshark/tsharks emits a warning for each unknown preference in the preferences file. To avoid those warnings please overwrite the preferences file from wireshark (Edit->Preferences->Apply) or simply delete it. Cheers, Balint
