wireshark3 @3.4.0 appears to opportunistically use libssh

[ballapete (Peter "Pete" Dyballa)]

The configuration step ends with this summary

-- The following OPTIONAL packages have not been found:

 * LIBSSH (required version >= 0.6), Library for implementing SSH clients, <https://www.libssh.org/>
   extcap remote SSH interfaces (sshdump, ciscodump)

I do have libssh2 @1.9.0_0 (active) platform='darwin 17' archs='x86_64' date='2019-09-27T13:55:46+0200' installed, but it has /opt/local/lib/pkgconfig/libssh2.pc. Presumingly that's the reason why this is reported:

-- Found M: m
-- Could NOT find LIBSSH (missing: LIBSSH_LIBRARIES LIBSSH_INCLUDE_DIRS LIBSSH_VERSION) (Required is at least version "0.6")
-- Checking for one of the modules 'libpcap'
-- Found PCAP: /opt/local/lib/libpcap.dylib

Does it make any sense to additionally install libssh1?

[jmroot (Joshua Root)]

Certainly it should either depend on libssh or disable that functionality.

Wireshark does not use libssh2 (and neither libssh which is not installed):

To make use of libssh2 which some ports need (cargo, curl, gstreamer1-gst-plugins-bad) it would need a patch probably…

[ghosthound]

yes, wireshark 3.4(.x) only looks for libssh, it does not look for libssh2. I'll add a dependency on libssh shortly.
