wireshark install

Im trying to install wireshark the usual way sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install wireshark. the system complains about not finding the dependencies. must be some issue with the repository. I then tried to install minicom and it said it could not fine the package.
so the question is what to change so the wireshark can get installed.
thanks.

I just tried the same and it looked OK:

Abort.

I aborted the install, but it didn't show any missing packages. (I think I would have installed wireshark-gtk to avoid getting the qt version though.)

Please post the output in your terminal when you run 'sudo apt install wireshark', or 'sudo apt install wireshark-gtk'.
