The wireshark packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.10.14,
which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous
version.
This update also fixes the following bug:
* Prior to this update, when using the tshark utility to capture packets
over the interface, tshark failed to create output files in the .pcap
format even if it was specified using the “-F” option. This bug has been
fixed, the “-F” option is now honored, and the result saved in the .pcap
format as expected.
In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:
* Previously, wireshark included only microseconds in the .pcapng format.
With this update, wireshark supports nanosecond time stamp precision to
allow for more accurate time stamps.
All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to
take effect.
