Unfortunately, it appears that the error message from "pkgadd" isn't
very accurate.

It should probably say

	This package requires GTK+ version >= 1.2 and < 2.0 installed in
	    ...

so that you'd have known that GTK+ 2.2.4 isn't sufficient.  (1.2[.x] and
2.x aren't binary-compatible or even source-compatible from Ethereal's
point of view, and the package you're using was built to use 1.2[.x].)
