I think this has been resolved. "dnf install wireshark" does not
install the GUI. The description says it's a meta package that is
supposed to pull in wireshark-cli and wireshark-qt, but only
wireshark-cli is listed as a prerequisite. The symlink chain:

	/usr/sbin/wireshark -> /etc/alternatives/wireshark ->
		/usr/sbin/wireshark-gtk OR
		/usr/sbin/wireshark-qt

is provided by either wireshark-gtk or wireshark-qt, respectively.

So, you need to install wireshark-[gtk|qt] (depending on your desires)
for the GUI to work. I have the GTK version and it lists both wireshark
and wireshark-cli as prerequisites. Does it pull them in when you
install wireshark-gtk? I don't know as I can't recall how I installed
it in the first place (it was long ago...this machine started out as
F20 way back when and it's been upgraded to F25 via yum/dnf in several
steps).

The OP (Bob G.) did a "dnf install wireshark-qt" and it seems
functional for him at this time.
