Won't let me install it...says I need ethereal-base,
which I can't install for reasons below:
# rpm --install ethereal-gtk+-0.10.0a-1.RH9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
ethereal-base = 0.10.0a-1.RH9 is needed by
ethereal-gtk+-0.10.0a-1.RH9
# rpm --install ethereal-base-0.10.0a-1.RH9.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
ucd-snmp is needed by ethereal-base-0.10.0a-1.RH9

You probably want ethereal-gtk+ - ethereal-base includes the stuff that
doesn't require GTK+, but the Ethereal executable does require it.
Perhaps "ethereal-base" should be renamed "tethereal-base", but I'd
expect people to still be confused as they might not realize that you
first need to install something whose name doesn't begin with
"ethereal".

No, but there should probably be something - I'd vote for exporting the
RPMs via HTTP as well as FTP, and providing an index page, just as
http://www.ethereal.com/distribution/win32/
has an index page, with the RPM index page explaining what the various
RPMs are.
