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?

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.
