Description Georgiy Treyvus 2013-10-18 05:10:34 UTC
I install the wireshark package. I try running wireshark. There is no wireshark command found. I go and "updatedb" and then "locate wireshark" this returns many results but not the executable I need to actually use wireshark. This has been a problem since at least Fedora 17. My workaround has been to build from source which works fine but it is annoying as there is no easy way to keep track of updates or patches. If the wireshark package worked fine this wouldn't be a problem. This really is getting tiring.

It's a bit counter-intuitive but you need to install wireshark-gnome - that's where it lives. Please note that we install wireshark to /usr/sbin not to /usr bin so make sure you have it in $PATH.
