[Voyage-linux] Trying to install ethereal on Voyage-Current...

[Jerry]

Hello!

Thanks for your response Punky.  I followed your directions and get this: 
(basically the same thing)

voyage:~# dpkg -i ed_0.2-20_i386.deb
(Reading database ... 10974 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace ed 0.2-20 (using ed_0.2-20_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement ed ...
Setting up ed (0.2-20) ...
update-alternatives: unable to make 
/usr/share/man/pl.ISO8859-2/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a symlink to 
/etc/alternatives/editor.pl.ISO8859-2.1.gz: No such file or directory
dpkg: error processing ed (--install):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 ed

I even tried to create a "editor.pl.ISO8859-2.1.gz" file, but it made no 
difference, neither did a "--force-all".  Forgive me, but Im a SuSE man, so 
'apt' is new to me...

No, I did NOT get ethereal to install... atleast running "ethereal" from a 
command line gives me a "no such file or directory" error, so I presume not. 
I have looked through the filesystem looking for the executable ethereal 
file, but did not find one...

Thanks again for your help.'
