It sounds like you had previously installed etherape by building from
source and installing (i.e. outside of rpm), and that installing the
ethereal-gnome package wrote over a library file when installing
dependencies, such that when you removed ethereal-gnome that library
file was different. This is the peril of installing unpackaged
software outside of /usr/local. But, then I'm not sure why rebuilding
and reinstalling etherrape wouldn't fix the problem (although it'll
clobber your rpm database). Not very helpful, I'm afraid.
