Advantage? Avoid conflicts. I very much prefer yum install to "yum install X;
oh, wait... conflict ? why, oh why ?"
I really have in mind the ethereal package, where the GUI and text-only versions
did not conflict.

As for help, I was thinking of the man pages only.


WRT to comment #7 and #9:
As far as I understand the setup (correct me if I am wrong) says "text only
binary in ettercap and gtk version + the rest in ettercap-common". This would
leave ettercap-common as the only package needed for graphic only installs. I
find the name a bit strange and not very explanatory. I would rather suggest
"ettercap" for the GUI version and "ettercap-tui" or "tettercap" for the text
only one. However, I think that splitting in three is a better choice
- text only rpm, including %{_bindir}/ettercap (+ Requires + ncurses) + man
pages if they are different to the GUI
- GUI, including %{_bindir}/ettercap-gtk + .desktop + scriptlets + Requires for
GUI + man pages if different to the text only
- common: the rest
