Hello,

Thanks for the help.

After replacing the Wireshark.spec.in file from 1.8.6 to 1.10.3, my system was 
able to locate Wireshark. Actually in 1.10.3, Wireshark.spec.in does not keep 
the wireshark exe by default at /usr/bin, instead it installs them to the path 
given by --prefix which was given at the time of ./configure. I don't know why 
this time /usr/bin has been removed.

By the way what is Wireshark.desktop, what role does it play?

The only objection I saw was Jeff Morriss's

but, even at the time Tomas asked that, it appears we were generating 
wireshark.spec from wireshark.spec.in, so I'm not sure why setting more things 
in the generated wireshark.spec than we were already setting would be a Bad 
Thing.
