Comment(by sam.kuper@…):

 I just installed Wireshark using Macports and encountered the problem that
 clicking Capture > Interfaces... gives a popup with the error message,
 "There are no interfaces on which a capture can be done."

 Judging by
 http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/viewvc/trunk/packaging/macosx/ChmodBPF/README.macosx?revision=29831&view=markup
 , it seems that this problem is due to the ChmodBPF folder not having been
 placed in /Library/StartupItems/ directory by the MacPorts installation
 routine for Wireshark.

 Am I right in thinking that this bug report is designed to address this
 problem? If so, is it safe, in the meantime - i.e. until the patches have
 been applied to Macports and the bug marked "Resolved" - to obtain a copy
 of the ChmodBPF directory somewhere else and copy it to the
 /Library/StartupItems/ folder manually, or does this risk preventing
 Macports from being able to update Wireshark (including the ChmodBPF
 folder) safely in the future?
