Can't Install Wireshark Under V3.8

[mezzmer]

Hi All

I just upgraded to Linux Lite v3.8, and I can't get Wireshark to install. 

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libwireshark8 : Depends: libsmi2ldbl (>= 0.4.5+dfsg0) but it is not installed

I also ran [tt]apt-get -f install[/tt] but it didn't help

I've included the [tt]apt-get install[/tt] &  [tt]apt-get -f install[/tt] run in case it provides any useful information.

Any suggestions/assistance much appreciated. 

Output from [tt]apt-get install wireshark[/tt]

Code:

$ sudo apt-get install wireshark

I followed the instructions, and this is what I got

Code:

After I did this the supplied instructions worked.  Thanks.
