Description Vincent 2016-12-03 14:57:04 UTC

Description of problem:
Installing the Wireshark package via DNF yields no binaries, so it's not possibe to execute wireshark 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Name        : wireshark
Version     : 2.2.2
Release     : 2.fc25
Architecture: x86_64

How reproducible:
N/A - the binary isn't there

Steps to Reproduce:
1. DNF INSTALL wireshark-2.2.2-2.fc25.x86_64  
2. # wireshark
   -bash: /sbin/wireshark: No such file or directory
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:
A GUI interface. I used it this morning on Fedora 24 with no problems. Now, I removed F24, installed F25, and I can't use F25 any more.

********* CORRECTION *******
Expected results:
A GUI interface. I used Wireshark on my Fedora 24 without problems this morning. Now, I removed F24, installed F25, and I can't use Wireshark any more.

Wireshark package is divided into wireshark-gtk and wireshark-qt. You need to install one of these packages in order to have executable wireshark.

Comment 3 Vincent 2016-12-07 06:05:09 UTC

Thank you for the information; isn't better to remove the "wireshark" package and offer only the gtk and qt packages?

After installing either of those packages (gtk/qt), wireshark gives the following error: "Unable to init server: Could not connect: Connection refused (wireshark-gtk:2184): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: :0"

Fedora 25 resorted to Wayland as the display server protocol and this could  be related to the error. Is this a bug or by design (and the user has to configure his system differently)?

Comment 4 Martin Sehnoutka 2016-12-07 15:37:05 UTC

That is not possible, they both are part of "wireshark" package and cannot be separated.

There should be no problem with connecting to display server. If this problem remains, please try to sum up steps to reproduce and fill in bug against appropriate component (e.g. Gtk or Wayland)

dnf install wireshark

rpm -ql wireshark 
(contains no files)

This is stupid. I have to look up in a bugtracker how to properly install a program?
