Description:
The ettercap 0.7.5-2 gtk GUI works even without the ettercap-gtk package. If it is not possible to build ettercap and ettercap-gtk as complementary packages, then either offer only one package (GUI including), or offer two conflicting packages - one with, the other without gtk GUI. The state it is in now, is unacceptable. See https://github.com/Ettercap/ettercap/issues/51 Actually I am sure the maintainer is well aware of the issue. Steps to reproduce: Uninstall ettercap-gtk from your system. Run ettercap -G. It will work, but it shouldn't. |

ettercap and ettercap-gtk may not depend on each other!
They need to be build as separate (standalone) packages, one cli and the other cli+GUI.
This is also what the ettercap dev is suggesting: https://github.com/Ettercap/ettercap/issues/51#issuecomment-10446860
Pacman output:
error: unresolvable package conflicts detected
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: ettercap and ettercap-gtk are in conflict
This is because the devs switched to cmake and it doesn't seem to be possible building those two packages complementary anymore. They need to be build as standalone.
