Can you provide me with output of this command? $ sudo alternatives --display wireshark Does it help when you remove all wireshark packages and then install them again?
$ sudo alternatives --display wireshark wireshark - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/sbin/wireshark-gtk /usr/sbin/wireshark-gtk - priority 10 Current `best' version is /usr/sbin/wireshark-gtk. > Does it help when you remove all wireshark packages and then install them > again? No, the same error even on a clean install.
The problem is that we moved wireshark binaries from /usr/sbin to /usr/bin during f26 development phase. There is a script, that was supposed to remove wireshark from alternatives and install it again, but it seems not to work. As a workaround, you can remove all Wireshark packages, then remove alternatives with this command: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --remove-all wireshark and then install wireshark again. It should be fine after that. I'll try to improve the update script, so this is done automatically.

I've got the same issue, I've updated to wireshark-qt-2.2.8-2 from updates-testing . Unfortunately the issue is still present after the update, output of dnf shows Running scriptlet: wireshark-qt-2.2.8-2.fc26.x86_64 3/6 which: no wireshark in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin) which: no wireshark in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin) the primary link for wireshark must be /usr/sbin/wireshark warning: %post(wireshark-qt-2.2.8-2.fc26.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 2 Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package wireshark-qt Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package wireshark-qt The output of alternatives is: $ alternatives --display wireshark wireshark - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/sbin/wireshark-qt /usr/sbin/wireshark-qt - priority 50 Current `best' version is /usr/sbin/wireshark-qt. This is not a fresh Fedora 26 install, it's an upgrade from 25 did few days ago. wireshark symlink is not present at all, no idea how it gone missing, but I never touched it by hand. Nevertheless the if [ "$(which wireshark)" == "/usr/sbin/wireshark" ] || [ "$(which wireshark)" == "/sbin/wireshark" ]; will not be true and the fix will not be applied. Maybe change the condition to something like if alternatives --display wireshark | grep -q '/usr/sbin/wireshark'; then /usr/sbin/update-alternatives --remove-all wireshark &> /dev/null || : fi Or maybe to a check before this if to see if which wireshark actually return something, if not reinstall the default link.
Unfortunately the line if alternatives --display wireshark | grep -q '/usr/sbin/wireshark'; won't work, because there is no line saying anything about the group link "/usr/sbin/wireshark", there is only the actual binary mentioned 3 times. I might close this bug as WONTFIX, because it seems to be broken in a different way for everybody and I don't have the capacity to write scriptlets for everything.
I understand it's not easy, but leaving it unfixed is not really good. As long as it's only one package you can bear with it, but if more packages start doing such a thing... What about a simple solution as: if [ -z "$(which wireshark 2>/dev/null)" ] || [ "$(which wireshark)" == "/usr/sbin/wireshark" ] || [ "$(which wireshark)" == "/sbin/wireshark" ]; If you want you can even combine this in a single command if [ -z "$(which wireshark 2>/dev/null)" -or "$(which wireshark 2>/dev/null)" == "/usr/sbin/wireshark" -or "$(which wireshark 2>/dev/null)" == "/sbin/wireshark" ]; That would also work. If you try to remove an alternative that doesn't exist it's harmless, you have the &> /dev/null || : already.

Oh you mean remove alternatives for wireshark and keeping the two binaries well separated? Agreed, that works indeed. Sorry I didn't understood you wanted to go this way when you said WONTFIX :)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life. On 2018-Nov-30 Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '27'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
This should have the version updated to Fedora 28 as it affects Fedora 28 as well (still): Running scriptlet: wireshark-qt-1:2.6.4-1.fc28.x86_64 20/140 Upgrading : wireshark-qt-1:2.6.4-1.fc28.x86_64 20/140 Running scriptlet: wireshark-qt-1:2.6.4-1.fc28.x86_64 20/140 the primary link for wireshark must be /usr/sbin/wireshark warning: %post(wireshark-qt-1:2.6.4-1.fc28.x86_64) scriptlet failed, exit status 2 Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package wireshark-qt Non-fatal POSTIN scriptlet failure in rpm package wireshark-qt
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
