Description

On Debian (Bookworm) and probably every other linux distribution, the lua-cjson module must be installed. Otherwise an error message appears when Wireshark is started.
The error message reads:

Lua: Error during loading:
/home/.../wireshark/plugins/cjson/util.lua:1: module 'cjson' not found:
            no field package.preload['cjson']
            no file '/home/.../wireshark/plugins/cjson/cjson.lua'
            no file ...
            ...
stack traceback:
            [C]: in function 'require'
            ...

Wireshark is starting without any error prompt after the installation of the lua-cjson module with sudo apt install lua-cjson.
A hint that this module is required in the readme's Installation section would be nice,
