From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040116 Description of problem: ethereal depends on libpcap.so.0.6.2, but it should depend on libpcap.so.0, which is a symbolic link to version libpcap-0.7.2-7.1.i386.rpm or higher. A update for package libpcap-0.7.2-7.1.i386.rpm is not possible with ethereal and ethereal-gnome is installed. If only libpcap-0.7.2-7.1.i386.rpm was installed and updated to a newer version, you can't install ethereal.... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ethereal-0.9.13-4.1.i386.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install libpcap and ethereal from FC1 2. rpm -Uvh libpcap-newer-version.rpm will fail or 1. Install libpcap from FC1 and update the package to a newer version 2. Installing ethereal will fail Additional info:
The problem is that internally in the past the libpcap ABI has changed, therefore a pretty exact match between ethereal and libpcap was always necessary. As unfortunatelt no combined update has been done for ethereal and libpcap on FC1 i suggest you simply use the FC2 versions of both, which is a good idea anyway imho. Read ya, Phil
