Why is this error with wireshark library ?

dschinn1001

After ...
sudo wireshark
in terminal this popped as line up ?
solus@home ~ $ sudo wireshark
Passwort:
wireshark: error while loading shared libraries: libQt5Multimedia.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Why is that ?
At moment all is okay again - wireshark is running normal.

Does your system have /usr/lib/libQt5Multimedia.so.5 ? Which is part of the Qtlibs.

This is because qt5-multimedia isn't installed on your system.
It has been added as dependency so if your system is up-to-date, you won't have this problem anymore.

PS: It is not advised to run wireshark as root
