Almost certainly.

Some sort of support for SNMP...

These are part of Glib, some sort of utility library.

Database library?  Part of glibc...

Math library (part of glibc).

Compression...

Apparently tetheral doesn't support long opts.

This isn't ethereal, but tethereal: tethereal is a tcpdump-like network
traffic dumping tool which works in text mode.  Full blown ethereal this
is not.

Several things are nice about tethereal over tcpdump:

* More powerful filtering language
* More protocols supported
* Lots of file formats supported, including translation capabilities

Drawbacks:

* Non-standard filtering language
* Bigger, more libraries needed

If you use this package, realize that it can be slimmed down by removing
libraries like libz, libm, and perhaps libdl which may be available
separately.  I think I must have included them all because I felt the
trade-off in not having to get all those packages separately would be
best for many people.
