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.

dist.lists.debian.org/2004-12/msg07181.html
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..
<warning> Site seem to take great glee in presenting lots of "cutesy"
animated little ads that slow things noticeably.

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.
