Note that one could separate tethereal and other non-X11 stuff to some "base" package. Has been fixed in version 0.9.0-2 available via rawhide real soon now. Read ya, Phil *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 55632 *** This doesn't seem "fixed" to me. It appears that you "fixed" it by moving *all* of the X ethereal binaries into ethereal-gnome, so that I can't run "ethereal" by itself with just the "ethereal" package installed. This is not a "fix". Ethereal isn't a gnome program; I don't use gnome, and yet I should still be able to run "ethereal" after installing just the "ethereal" package. Perhaps the problem is that the ethereal-gnome package should be renamed "ethereal-X" or something like that to make it clear that it contains binaries for running ethereal under X, whether gnome or anything else. You can use ethereal without having to install the ethereal-gnome package. Just start tethereal, thats the text-only version and is included in the ethereal package. If thats not what you want please be more specific. Read ya, Phil The GTK+ ethereal program does not appear to require Gnome at all, and hence should not be in the ethereal-gnome package (especially as that would make its description wrong). Of course, separate packages for tethereal and ethereal would still be a good idea. Well, actually, it does at least require gtk:
[root@essingen tmp]# ldd /usr/sbin/ethereal
libsnmp.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsnmp.so.0 (0x40036000)
libcrypto.so.3 => /lib/libcrypto.so.3 (0x4009c000)
libpcap.so.0.6.2 => /usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.6.2 (0x40177000)
libgtk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-1.2.so.0 (0x40192000)
libgdk-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-1.2.so.0 (0x402ec000)
libgmodule-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgmodule-1.2.so.0 (0x40326000)
libglib-1.2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-1.2.so.0 (0x40329000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40350000)
libXi.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXi.so.6 (0x40355000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x4035d000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x4036b000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x40431000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40453000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x40461000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
So renaming the ethereal-gnome to ethereal-gtk is all you are asking about??? If
thats the case, i guess this can be done easily. :-)
Read ya, Phil
No. The ethereal-gnome package is for something else, as its description says: "Contains ethereal icon for Gnome 1.2 and desktop integration file" Then basically the description for the ethereal-gnome package is wrong. Separating ethereal and ethereal-gnome is a good thing(tm) as the base package now has no more requirements whatsoever on any X11/gtk/gnome libs. Changing description and closing bug now.
