Note that I'm not trying to be snarky here. The official Wireshark packages for
macOS are compiled with versions of Qt, GLib, and other libraries that don't
change very often and are known to work reasonably well. The Wireshark
application is installed as an application bundle and *not* as a bare
executable. The further homebrew diverges from the wireshark.org installer the
more opportunities for misadventure will arise.
At the very least I think it'd be helpful if
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/wireshark.rb were
modified such that
- It installs Wireshark as Wireshark.app if it doesn't already do so.
- It uses --with-qt and --with-qt4 instead of --with-qt5 and --with-qt to
install with Qt5 and Qt4 respectively.
