Well, partly: I've been "converting" a RHL 7.3 system to approximately Centos 2.1, so found it necessary to "rpm -Va"

I was more than a little surprised at this: [root@magpie root]# rpm -V seamonkey missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/browser missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/browser/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/browser/content/overlays.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/browser/skin missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/browser/skin/stylesheets.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/communicator missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/communicator/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/communicator/content/overlays.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/cookie missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/cookie/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/cookie/content/overlays.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/editor missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/editor/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/editor/content/overlays.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/global missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/global/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/global/content/overlays.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/global/skin missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/global/skin/stylesheets.rdf missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/navigator missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/navigator/content missing /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo/navigator/content/overlays.rdf

etc

Reinstalling the packages did no good:

[root@magpie root]# rpm -q --scripts seamonkey postinstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh): # run ldconfig before regxpcom /sbin/ldconfig >/dev/null 2>/dev/null

if [ -f /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl ]; then /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl fi preuninstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh): # is a final removal? if [ "$1" == "0" ]; then /bin/rm -rf /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo /bin/rm -f /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/*.rdf fi postuninstall scriptlet (through /bin/sh): /sbin/ldconfig >/dev/null 2>/dev/null # was this an upgrade? if [ "$1" == "2" ]; then if [ -f /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl ]; then /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl fi fi [root@magpie root]# hm. What does /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl?

Oh, it does

[root@magpie root]# head -20 /usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl #!/usr/bin/perl

use File::Path; use File::Copy; use File::Glob ":glob"; use POSIX ":sys_wait_h";

$timeout = 60;

%{ENV}->{"MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME"}="/usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8"; %{ENV}->{"LD_LIBRARY_PATH"}="/usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8"; %{ENV}->{"MOZ_DISABLE_GNOME"}="1";

umask 022;

if ( -f "/usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/regxpcom" ) { # remove all of the old files rmtree("/usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/overlayinfo"); unlink </usr/lib/mozilla-seamonkey-1.0.8/chrome/*.rdf>; [root@magpie root]#

Why is this?
