Hi folks,
the ethereal 0.10.9-11 package in the bindist used to be broken (in
several ways). Hence I replaced it in stable by version 0.10.12,
and somebody (I think drm) updated the bindist with a new .deb made
from that version.
From this point on, whenever people mailed me about problems they
had with ethereal, it usually was due to the 0.10.9-11 package
being installed. So I just told them to run
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ethereal
and in almost all cases that worked perfectly!
However, recently it stopped working for them. They retain the old
broken ethereal version. Is it possible that somehow the new .deb
got pulled from the bindist again (maybe by accident) ?
Indeed, if I do the same steps as above, it downloads 0.10.9-11.
What's going on here?!?
Unfortunately, DNS is no longer pointing at the correct copy of the
bindist. (This is because we no longer control DNS for
finkmirrors.net). The long-term fix is to change all of our URL's
away from finkmirrors.net, which I am working on. I will attempt, as
a short-term fix, to see if I can get the old copy of the bindist in
sync with the newer copy.
