Bah! I misread that; probably too hasty :( I've been trying to 
dpkg-reconfigure wireshark (not common) with understandably little success.

I did the right thing; the wireshark group appeared, I added my user to 
it, and it all works fine!

Thank you so much for your ever-useful on the nail help, Cameleón.

Now to sort out my network problem ;(
