I installed ethereal using "sudo apt-get install ethereal".
What was installed is "wireshark", which is not what I wanted.
I then tried to remove it using "sudo apt-get remove ethereal" which found dependencies and apparently worked, but "wireshark" is still installed.
I then removed Wireshark "sudo apt-get remove wireshark"
Now no ethereal and no wireshark commands.
