Summary0009581: driftnet mournes missing colorreload-gtk-module
Description

Dear maintainers,

it shows, that when driftnet (the binary) is started, it misses coloreload-gtk-module. A short search shows, the only package, which installs this module is
"kde-config-gtk-style". When this package is installed, the error message is gone, too.

Maybe you might want to change the dependencies of package driftnet and add kde-config-gtk-style (and its dependencies) to package driftnet?

Other solution might be, to add colorreload-gtk-module to package driftnet itself.

Thanks for reading and your efforts to improve the system.

Best regards

Hans

I'm not familiar with driftnet and I didn't even manage to start it.

Running as unprivileged user:

$ driftnet               
Tue Mar 10 23:58:42 2026 - error: pcap_activate: You don't have permission to perform this capture on that device

Ok so running as root then, with sudo driftnet. Result: no error message in the console. But not usable either: it just opens a empty black window for me.

What did I miss?
