I hope no more bad sectors show up. If I see more than just a few I believe things tend over successive self tests, I tend to have a pessimistic outlook for the drive.
Bill: I get the Digest version of the ML each morning, but I read the above online. Suggest you download the Diagnostics from the manufacturer of the drive and run that. You may be spinning your wheels here, and wasting a lot of your valuable time, if the drive is bad and needs to be replaced. FWIW, below is the output of the yum command you ran, so you can see what I have installed and what I don't have installed, of Evolution, on CentOS 5. GL, Lanny
By the time you read this in the A.M. I should have a new smartctl extended selftest completed. Then I'll get the diags if it seems things have deteriorated from my comfort level.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch ...

Looks just like mine looked. I did go a-googling and found some possibilities.
None are related to evolution, but I'm hoping that clues lie there for discovery by some skilled viewers of this thread.
Here, they claim that the oasis site is broken. But since I did a wget successfully, I still suspect my installation has something wrong. But rpm --verify doesn't give a clue, more later.

And in the follow-up to this, they mention the need to have a version of docbook installed and using --disable-gtk-doc. But this has to do with building pacakages.

In the next, broken rpm macros are suggested. It starts here, but I'd skip to the second URL as it seems to get closer to the germ of truth..

The stuff beginning here doesn't *seem* related to my ignorant eyes, but maybe it does have meaning to others. Mostly petty sniping typical of ... UH-OH! Almost got politically incorrect there.

Anyway, my error appears in this one.
http://osdir.com/ml/linux.pld.devel.english/2005-05/msg00106.html
But, I can't see that it relates and no solution jumps out at me.
Here is from another bug tracker at Debian. Maybe some hope there?
# wrapped, from 5/2004, maybe not relevant any longer?
http://www.archivum.info/debian-bugs- dist.lists.debian.org/2004-12/msg07144.html
It includes a link to here.
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/docbook-tc/200405/msg00000.html
But it's subject is "FYI: OASIS site not ECN standards-compliant" and leads absolutely nowhere.
So, anyone with time, interest, knowledge, a beer... ?
Hoping the the mention of docbook is relevant...

Maybe I need to install one of these? One would think that yum would have recognized this though.

TIA for any/all help.
BTW, saw the RH bugzilla entry for the nautilus-sender issue with pidgin/gaim. Real responsive crew when you don't have a contract, eh? I bet the promise of having a fix in 5.3 (? how many months from now?) is not how they jump in when you send them a fix.
