Why no wireshark-gnome package?

[Paolo Galtieri]

How do I go about subscribing to that channel?  I tried subscribing to it
via RHN, but I could not get RHN to tellme I was subscribed.  I go to the
list of channels and select the optional channel for RHEL6.  I go to target
systems and I click on subscribe, but nothing happens.  I get no feedback.
When I click on subscribed systems it tells me I'm not subscribed.  Can
anyone point me to instructions?  When I tried to login to rhn by running
rhn_register on my RHEL 6 system I get:

Problem registering system:

Error Message:
    Insufficient Software Channel Entitlements:

    cfid8998  Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6)

note: One of the above Software Channel Entitlement(s) are required
to provides access to: cid10550 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6
for x86_64)
Error Class Code: 70
Error Class Info:
     All available subscriptions for the requested channel have been

But RHN says I have an entitlement to updates for RHEL6.  So what the is
going on?

The whole entitlement process is so confusing and difficult to use.
