Title: Ethereal install error

Was wondering if you can assist, getting the following error when attempting to install Ethereal;

# bunzip2 ethereal-0.10.14-solaris2.8-sparc-local.bz2
# pkgadd -d ethereal-0.10.14-solaris2.8-sparc-local

The following packages are available:
  1  ethereal     ethereal 0.10.14
                  (sparc) 0.10.14

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: all
