greetings.
on laptop with new install of centos 6.8 and current update, wireshark will not start via kde kickoff application launcher. it will start from start from a terminal.
"locate wireshark|grep bin/" show 2 paths for wireshark;
/usr/bin/wireshark /usr/sbin/wireshark
opening kde menu editor show simple command 'wireshark'. changing to;
/usr/bin/wireshark
failed. changed to;
/usr/sbin/wireshark
failed.
do not know about Denmark, but something is rotten here with install.
with previous system install, wireshark worked from kde menu w/o any problem.
to verify install ran yum to delete, then reinstalled, same problem.
question, what might be causing this and how to cure.
as always, any and all help, comments, suggestions greatly appreciated.
tia. [this tape will not self destruct. 8=) ]

I was curious, are they from the same RPM or two different ones?

thinking about this, when installing centos previously, there are 2 places where wireshark is shown, iirc.
also, thinking further, can not say for sure, but i believe i installed from first packages listing and may not have for second packages listing.
if true, what/how is way to get second packages listing?
