That's odd; I just tried it (starting from the wireshark-1.12.0 source

You could try comparing the two or just remove wireshark.spec to force
it to be built again.
[1] cd /tmp && tar xjf /path/to/wireshark-1.12.0.tar.bz2 && cd

Thanks for retesting. The wireshark.spec file was definitely being regenerated.
I noticed above that you did not run ./autogen.sh. I tried once again, this
time *without* running autogen.sh just as you've shown, but unfortunately
the results were the same.
Source tarballs don't need ./autogen.sh run on them--that's part of the
magic of "make dist" (and part of the argument against distributing
source tarballs with tools/git-export-release.sh).
Anyway, I had been running this test on Fedora (20) but since I didn't
want to accuse you of operator error ;-) I decided to try it on RHEL 6.
Sure enough, I saw the problem. And in fact at the moment I'm not
sure why it works on Fedora--I'll need to dig a bit deeper. But anyway
I think I know the fix--I'll commit that once I either have a better
understanding of why it works on Fedora or at least I prove it works in
both distros.
