Drop Legacy GTK+ GUI in wireshark
Summary

Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 29
- Last updated: 2018-03-04
- Tracker bug: #1551325
- Release Notes tracking: #124
Detailed Description
Since wireshark-2.0 there are two GUIs availble for use. One is based on GTK+ and the other on Qt. The upstream focuses on the development of the Qt-based GUI and the GTK-based GUI has been marked as legacy. Since wireshark 2.4.0 the GTK-based GUI is not supported anymore and it is disabled by default. We should drop the GTK-based wireshark in Fedora 29.
Benefit to Fedora
New features and bug fixes will only be delivered for Qt-based GUI by the upstream.
Scope
- Proposal owners:
This is an isolated change. The new GUI is more or less the same as the new one. It does not affect any functionality of wireshark package. This will be a very easy change from developer point of view.

- Release engineering: #7319 (a check of an impact with Release Engineering is needed)
- List of deliverables: N/A (not a System Wide Change)

Upgrade/compatibility impact
N/A (not a System Wide Change)
How To Test
1. simply try to install wireshark-gtk package and the operation should fail. The same should happen for wireshark-qt because wireshark-qt would become the default package and would be renamed simply as wireshark.

Dependencies
