I was curious, are they from the same RPM or two different ones?

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?
