Ethereal installs some Python stuff into /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages, where 2.2 is hardcoded, and we have 2.3 already. Will attach a patch against current rawhide. Note: in order to produce expected results when/if this fix is applied and the resulting package built on 64-bit archs, bug 125472 should be fixed first. On the other hand, the installed python files look like ethereal development files, and depend on omniidl from omniORB, which AFAICS isn't available in Fedora Core; so perhaps the python files could just be dropped altogether...
Created attachment 101782 [details] Fix python site-packages dir location

OK, despite omniidl from omniORB not being in Fedore Core i fixed the installation, maybe someone installs those package manually and hopes ethereal to work with the python modules. ;-) Fixed in ethereal-0.10.5-2 and later available via development. Read ya, Phil
