You'd need to remove that line (and the text that implies that the list
of filtering fields is there - put in a references to the
ethereal-filters man page, isntead), and check the resulting text in as
ethereal.pod.  (Then do the same for tethereal.pod.)

Yes, I did that (just didn't want to send a ~250k patch). My problem is,
that everything works fine when I do
"./autogen.sh && ./configure && make && make install" but fails, when
I do "make distcheck" - that's the problem, normal operation is fine.

The error message from the failure:

	Can't open ethereal.pod for reading: No such file or directory
	 at /usr/bin/pod2man line 60

indicates that there's no "doc/ethereal.pod" file - did it get deleted as part of "make distcheck" or of an earlier build?
