>Description:

Wireshark is a network analyzis tool, that is often used to troubleshoot
networking issues.

In pkgsrc-current it, by default, depends on qt5-multimedia, which requires
pulseauido. This is a *very* heavy and completely useless dependency for
such a tool.

Maybe consider the default toolkit used.

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build net/wireshark with default options.

>Fix:
n/a
