Wireshark no interfaces found but NO dumpcap issue

I have an issue with Wireshark 3.2.3 (compiled from source). It does not show any interfaces to capture packets from.

But this does not seem to be an issue with dumpcap permissions. My dumpcap already has the right permissions and is functional on older Wireshark versions (2.6.10). Proof:

$ dumpcap -D
1. enp0s25
2. any
3. lo (Loopback)
4. bluetooth0
....

Also see this screenshot: enter image description here

(Left is version 2.6.10 from apt repo, right is version 3.2.3 compiled from source)

I also tried the version from: https://launchpad.net/~wireshark-dev/+archive/ubuntu/stable but that one does not seem to open (other errors with libs)

So I can not get v3.2.3 to work and give me a list of interfaces. I don't see other problems with v3.2.3. Does anyone know what the problem is or could be?

$ ./wireshark

Even when I run wireshark as root I don't get any interfaces.
