Hi,

I have been trying to upgrade from ethereal 9.8 (RH9 default) to ethereal 10 -11 on the RH9 platform.

I had downloaded srpm and successfully created a ethereal rpm.

When I try to run the rpm -i ethereal.rpm. I also tried rpm  -i --upgrade ethereal.rpm
it shows the following error messages

file /etc/pam.d/ethereal from install of ethereal-0.10.11-2 conflicts with file from package ethereal-0.9.8-6
