wireshark-cli needs xxhash as a dependency for tshark

Description:

The wireshark-cli package has the tshark binary, which requires libxxhash at runtime to work. However, the package doesn't depend on the xxhash package which provides that library. wireshask from wireshark-qt also needs libxxhash, but it's less of a problem since xxhash gets installed as a dependency for other packages when you install wireshark-qt.

Additional info:

  • package version(s): 4.6.0-1

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install wireshark-cli on a fresh arch system with only base installed.
  2. Try to start tshark.
  3. It will fail with tshark: error while loading shared libraries: libxxhash.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
