I'm trying to install Wireshark on Debian (Debian 3.2.51-1) but i'm getting this error:

apt-get install wireshark
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wireshark : Depends: libwireshark2 (>= 1.8.0~rc1-1) but it is not going to be installed
             Depends: wireshark-common (= 1.8.2-5wheezy10) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

  • What happens when you apt-get --reinstall install libwireshark2 wireshark-common?

  • Keep going through the dependency chain and doing that until you get a more specific error.
