Now for probably really good reasons, there still isn’t a Wireshark 3.0.1 deb package for Debian-Ubuntu distributions, and if you just so happen to be at Sharkfest 2019 running some flavor of Debian/Ubuntu and you’re taking the packet analysis classes, you need to be running Wireshark 3.0.1. While Fedora 30 is running Wireshark 3.0.1, even Ubuntu 19.10 (Eoan) is still running Wireshark 2.6.9-1 (again at the time of writing this).

Hint: in the Wireshark tarball, look at the ‘INSTALL’ file.) I’ve found a new method that I’m going to make a new post for. (UPDATE 20190611: This method below is a bit clunky and causes quite a few issues that are unnecessary. Wireshark is actually built correctly and will even capture packets (unlike these instructions)). Once the system update is done.(UPDATE 20190619: There are better instructions in a new post I made.
