Or perhaps, use --root=/usr/local or --root=/opt to install wireshark
in a completely new location which doesn't conflict with the already
installed ethereal (if you wanted to keep both for any reason ;-) )

Wireshark as well as ethereal (the predecessor of wireshark) provide
the file /usr/lib/libwiretap.so.0.0.1. This conflict is detected by RPM.
Either deinstall ethereal or install wireshark with the option --force.

Kind regards
