Details

In PKGBUILD of ethereal dependency array is:
depends=('x-server' 'gtk2' 'heimdal' 'pcre' 'libpcap' 'bash'),
while ldd /usr/bin/ethereal gives:
...
libdb-4.3.so => /usr/lib/libdb-4.3.so (0xb6c8a000)
...
and running without db package installed gives error:
ethereal: error while loading shared libraries: libdb-4.3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After installing db package ethereal runs fine. I suggest to include 'db' in depends array.
This task depends upon

sh-3.00$ pacman -Qi db | grep Req
Required By : heimdal openldap pam perl python subversion

sh-3.00$ pacman -Si ethereal | grep Depend
Depends On : bash gtk2 heimdal libpcap pcre x-server

Looks like it depends on db via heimdal, so this is not a bug. Seems you installed heimdal once with forced dependencies then.
