Can't capture packets with tcpdump or dumpcap/tshark. Sigsev

I'm running arch linux on my linode, everything is up to date in pacman. Whenever I try to run tcpdump or tshark it just gives me "Segmentation Fault". I checked the packages repo site and saw someone having the same issue and the fix was creating the /dev/bus/usb/001/001 which didn't fix the issue for me (still segfaults). When setting up the char device it uses the major version 189 which is usbdevice on my linode /proc/devices doesn't show a usbdevice anywhere.

So is there something I need to install or something I'm missing? In the past tcpdump has worked with no issues.

Thanks for reading, hope you can help.
