First, you don't run .sqf file. You just need to mention the package
name, in this case it would be wireshark

secondly, -k implies the package you want to install as well, so if you
already have that package installed, it won't build and install it again
for you. Basically -k means skipped any packages installed on your
machine, including an old one.

If you want to build the wireshark package only, just run sbopkg -i
wireshark and pick "P" (package) instead of queue. This way, you will
build and install wireshark package only.
