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

[Kim-man 'Punky' TSE]

Hi Jerry,

This is the known problem in voyage-0.3pre1 as well.  The problem lies 
on both elvis-tiny and ed. The workaround is downloading the deb package 
from

http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/e/ed/ed_0.2-20_i386.deb

and explicity run "dpkg -i ed_0.2-20_i386.deb".

But I think you already get ethereal installed, isn't it?

Regards,
Punky
