Description menschmeier 2006-08-25 05:50:31 UTC

I installed wireshark (0.99.3) (without gtk USE flag), and expected an executeable named wireshark, this is displayed in the emerging output to0:

>>> /usr/bin/ethereal -> wireshark

But ther is no /usr/bin/ethereal nor /usr/bin/wireshark neither. I have to use tshark on the console.

Now I am re-emerging wireshark using gtk USE flag. This should solve the problem.

This symbolic link should not be created if it links to nowhere.

fixed in 0.99.4. Sorry for being lazy with this late inclusion last time.
