Re: More Problems with Ethereal Failing after Ubuntu Upgrade

If you're using 0.99.0 then you're probably hitting this bug:

http://bugs.ethereal.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=895

That'll be fixed in the next version which will be Wireshark 0.99.1 
(http://www.wireshark.org).  Note that there's a pre-release available 
already.
