Repro.
1. Run wireshark and configure a valid key under
Edit->Preferences->Protocols->SSL->RSA Keys List->Edit
2. Quitt wireshark
3. Remove the key file from the filesystem, or rename the file
4. Run wireshark
5. Observe the warning
Error loading table 'SSL Decrypt': ssl_keys:2: File '/path/to/ssl.key' does not
exist or access is denied.
6. Attempt to edit the RSA Keys List, it will be *empty*.
Workarounds:
1. edit the ~/.wireshark/ssl_keys file by hand to remove the offending key, or
2. rename the file to ssl_keys.old
I suggest proper behavoir would be to have the key be listed in the
configuration screen so the path can be fixed within the application, or the
key can be removed from there. Or, offer to go straight to the RSA Keys List
edit screen from the warning dialog.
