In recent Fedora releases wireshark is packaged in 3 RPMS:

$ yum search wireshark
...
wireshark-devel.i686 : Development headers and libraries for wireshark
wireshark-gnome.i686 : Gnome desktop integration for wireshark and \
                       wireshark-usermode
wireshark.i686 : Network traffic analyzer
...

$ rpm -ql wireshark | grep bin/
/usr/sbin/capinfos
/usr/sbin/dftest
/usr/sbin/dumpcap
/usr/sbin/editcap
/usr/sbin/mergecap
/usr/sbin/randpkt
/usr/sbin/rawshark
/usr/sbin/tethereal
/usr/sbin/text2pcap
/usr/sbin/tshark

$ rpm -ql wireshark-gnome | grep bin/
/usr/bin/wireshark
/usr/sbin/wireshark
