            Bug ID: 239601
           Summary: net/tshark-lite is missing dumpcap
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: marcus at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: gert at greenie.muc.de

I got told in #228051 to open a new PR, so I do.

When installing net/tshark-lite and trying to dump with it, I get the message

  tshark: Couldn't run /usr/local/bin/dumpcap in child process: No such file or
directory                                                                       

because dumpcap is no longer installed.

Which brings up the question "what is the intended difference between tshark
and tshark-lite"?  The pkg-descr just says "lite", but doesn't mention
"unsuitable for life capturing"...


Anyway, what I think should happen is that either dumpcap is brought back, or
the package description is clarified on what "lite" stands for... save people
time.
