Description Steve Snyder 2002-06-17 20:33:43 UTC
Description of Problem:
The ethereal-0.9.4-0.7.3.0.i386.rpm package will not install on a system that
lacks the gtk+ package.  Note that I am *not* refering to the graphical
ethereal-gnome package, but to the text mode package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ethereal-0.9.4-0.7.3.0.i386.rpm

How Reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. rpm -ivh --test ethereal-0.9.4-0.7.3.0.i386.rpm

error: failed dependencies:
        gtk+ >= 1.2 is needed by ethereal-0.9.4-0.7.3.0


Notes
-----

Do this:

rpm -qi -p ethereal-0.9.4-0.7.3.0.i386.rpm

and read this:

This package lays base for libpcap, a packet capture and filtering
library, contains command-line utilities, and contains plugins and
documentation for ethereal. A graphical user interface is packaged
separately to GTK+ package.

Looks to me like the gtk+ requirement should be exclusive to ethereal-gnome.

Fixed in latest rawhide version (0.9.4-2).

Read ya, Phil
