Ethereal:
Depends On : bash gtk2 heimdal libpcap pcre x-server

db:
Required By : apache heimdal pam perl python subversion

Ethereal pulls in db via heimdal.

Why should we add db to the depends array then?

I installed ethereal via pacman, and it met all the dependencies, however, it would not run. It errored on a Libdb file, and when I installed 'db' via pacman, it ran fine. For some reason, something didn't refernce db that should have.
