Sorry, but this is the 3rd or 4th time wireshark has been built against
non-dependencies or even community packages. This is totally
unacceptable. We have several tools for this:
- namcap
- makechrootpkg

Use these tools. When you're using makechrootpkg, the only thing that
can actually happen is:
- failing build
- having unneeded depends that are not linked to the package

In case you're not using makechrootpkg, and you know you're compiling a
package outside the chroot, ALWAYS namcap it, even if it's just an
architecture rebuild.

Namcap is not the holy grail, but these simple bugs are detected by
namcap, so use it.
