The problem is solved now :-)

I guess this problem is specific at Ubuntu because of the apparmor
configuration. Previously, I run -z option at Debian and it works
without have to change its configuration.

See the tcpdump apparmor configuration
# grep tcpdump /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/profiles
/usr/sbin/tcpdump (enforce)

Change it to complain mode
# aa-complain /usr/sbin/tcpdump
Setting /usr/sbin/tcpdump to complain mode.
