.oO I feel you found a documentation bug. I will report it.

I only have an old FC2 with it's yum at hand, but running "yum
localinstall" on CentOS 4.1 shows how that command works:

$ yum localinstall ethereal-gnome-0.10.12-1.EL4.1.i386.rpm

Complete!

For the exercise I manually downloaded the
ethereal-gnome-0.10.12-1.EL4.1.i386.rpm file manually to /var/tmp/ and
run there "yum localinstall". You see, yum checks metadata and wants to
fetch the 3 dependencies.
