Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 2060] wireshark comlains about misssing interfaces at the

In fact there is a comment in capture_sync.c that says that these messages are
(currently) intentionally sent directly to stderr but really they should be
sent to the parent process (Wireshark) in a fashion similar to what is done
when capturing (so Wireshark could, for example, pop up a window telling the
user about the error).
Then again we're just listing interfaces here. The old pre-priv-sep Wireshark
just silently ignored any errors it got when listing interfaces (on the
assumption that it was just a permissions problem) so I suppose just directing
all the stderr to /dev/null would make sense here. (Certainly we wouldn't want
to actually pop up an error window every time a user opened the preferences
window.)
