Description of Problem: ethereal-0.8.18-9 contains the file /usr/bin/ethereal which is a link to `consolehelper'. This program will run /usr/sbin/ethereal as defined in /etc/security/console.apps/ethereal: | USER=root | PROGRAM=/usr/sbin/ethereal | SESSION=true | FALLBACK=true /usr/bin/ethereal and .../console.apps/ethereal are part of of the base `ethereal' package but /usr/sbin/ethereal is in `ethereal-gnome'. Thus, calling `ethereal' without an installed ethereal-gnome will fail mysteriously (see #46127). I suggest to move named files into the -gnome package. How Reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -e ethereal-gnome; rpm -U ethereal 2. ethereal Actual Results: nothing; no error-msg, no window Expected Results: an error-msg or a window
OK, i see the problem now. Fixed by moving the /usr/bin/ethereal application (resp. symlink) to the correct package, namely ethereal-gnome. That way things should work as expected. The fixed version (0.8.18-10) should appear in rawhide over the next few weeks. Read ya, Phil
