Description:
The new ettercap-gtk package (7.5.3-1) reports to the dependency manager that it "conflicts with" ettercap. I inspected the file lists, and ettercap-gtk apparently provides every file that ettercap provides. However, ettercap-gtk does not report "provides=('ettercap')" to the dependency management system.

With the current state of this package, any package that contains "depends=('ettercap')" is incompatible with the GTK interface to ettercap.

I downloaded the latest PKGBUILD from the SVN repositories into a directory called 'ettercap.old'. I've attached a patch that produces an 'ettercap.new' directory with the bug fixed and the pkgrel incremented.

Actually, it appears the PKGBUILD I got from the SVN had a broken source array, and was supposed to include 'ettercap.desktop' as its second element.

On that note, here's the .src.tar.gz file I actually used to install the new package on my system. (If you'll run a 'diff', you'll see that the only changes I made were bugfixes in the PKGBUILD.)
(application/x-gzip)    ettercap-0.7.5.3-2.src.tar.gz (0.9 KiB)
