[PLUG] Cannot install src.rpm

  Earlier today, I managed to download a copy of an ethereal source package:

 4938174 Apr 16 21:19 ethereal-0.9.3-3.src.rpm

But, when I tried (as root) to install it I saw this:

error: ethereal-0.9.3-3.src.rpm cannot be installed

  Turns out that not all of it came down the pipe. The file size reported on
rpmfind.net is 5130292. Sigh.

  This is rather a conundrum. My ftp capability has broken and I cannot get
a tool needed to watch the packets and try to figure out what's going on.

  If anyone has a copy of the source rpm of ethereal, or a rpm that will
install and run on a RH 6.2 system, please mail it directly to me.

TIA,

Rich
