The obvious quote here is "Use the Source Luke". I assume someone might put in the works to build binaries.But its's a daunting task.

Looks like they move on once a new version of Ubuntu is out:
Ubuntu packages -Package wireshark

It's "not that difficult" to build - Build environment setup
The magic is in tools/debian-setup.sh which will install the packages needed for a build system.
Source is available on the Download page. Previous versions here.

hmmm. unlike package installation, the installation via build doesn't work smoothly:

On Debian and Debian derivatives such as Ubuntu, if you have installed
Wireshark from a package, try running

sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common

selecting "<Yes>" in response to the question

Should non-superusers be able to capture packets?

adding yourself to the "wireshark" group by running

sudo usermod -a -G wireshark {your username}

and then logging out and logging back in again.

However, i did both reconfiguration and adding myself to group. What's wrong with manual installation?

You did make install or built a package after the build?

sudo make install

Logout and log back in again.
