Does anyone know if a RPM exist for wireshark the new version of Ethereal. I haven't found anything for Fedora 5. Also if anyone has had success with compiling the source let me know. Thanks

The last round of updates fixes it, as ethereal gets replaced with wireshark.

I found wireshark among many updates today, added all updates to queue and processed the queue. Everything got updated except for wireshark. I added them to queue again and processed queue again and got a blank window with DL size of 0 MB. In other words, no wireshark wireshark-gnome updates to be had. Maybe the headers made it through lastnights maintenance but the packages did not? (I know wireshark has been there for a couple of days, but I usually wait a couple days for updtes to make sure no problems arise on the forum).

Ok, this seems weird to me. wireshark is NOT installed on my machine, but it it showing up in the updates. it is also showing up in the list available for installation (same version in both updates and install options). ethereal is installed. Should I remove ethereal and install wireshark or just install wireshark (on top of or in addition to ethereal)? Or just leave ethereal and forget about wireshark?
I have tried the update, and there is nothing happening, I went through the motions for the install and it does want to install with no deps and it's not prompting to remove ethereal.

Possibly wireshark is not obsoleting ethereral but providing it. So you already have it installed. Removing ethereal and installing wireshark should do it.

I don't really like the new name as much, ethereal was a cool name.
