I recently wiped out my /sw directory and made a fresh install of fink. The only package I've tried to install so far is ethereal, and something's wrong. If I do a binary install, it appears to work fine, and it installs all the dependent packages and libraries, but there's no ethereal executable anywhere. Source install also fails near the end, possibly something wrong with my gcc, but first I want to figure out why the binary install doesn't work. Any ideas? Here's what happens when I install:

The following package will be installed or updated:
 ethereal
/sw/bin/apt-get -q --ignore-breakage --download-only install ethereal=0.10.9-11
