If by "the unit tests" you're referring to the tests in the "test" subdirectory of the source tree, this should not be surprising, given that one of those tests is in test/suite_capture.py, and "capture" means "we test packet capturing".

If we're going to support running the unit tests on builds without libpcap/WinPcap/Npcap, we should have the test suite somehow figure out whether Wireshark was built with the pcap library and only run the capture tests if it was.
