Me too, but different.

The cause seems to be the hard dependency of wireshark-common on a 
versioned 'libsystemd0 (>= 246)', introduced lately (3.2.6-1)?

Why on earth would a network traffic analyzer depend on system init?

This renders wireshark unusable for me (on sysv init), therefore 
priority should be set to 'important', IMO.
