That symbol is in libwiretap, I suspect you are pointing to an older version of
libwiretap, make sure you are using the one provided with wireshark.
The installation puts libwiretap in /usr/local/lib, I would guess you have an
older libwiretap in /usr/lib that wireshark is looking at first due to directory
order in environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
