Package wireshark-1.8.10-17.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
[geo at toshiba-lt ~]$

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?
