This section is not for asking how to do something but for howto's.

Also I've got a package for wireshark 1.2.0 compiled from source.

How about adding the latest version of Wireshark to BT4?

ok i've solved the problem was that checkinstall was unable to mkdir by his self so i did it manually and everything goes ok it installed wireshark and made .deb package.

altought i solved i'd like to understood why checkinstall was unable to make new dir if someone more skilled coule teach me i'll appretiate it

thank you.

To be honest, I havent found a mojor reason to switch to the new release. If someone can point me to a major reason why we should update before the main repo does then I'm all ears, otherwise we will wait for main repo.
