Or aren't > these packages meant to be installed & de-installed alot? These packages are taken from redhat, and the post/postun/whatever scripts are walking-on-thin-ice scripts. So I tend not to touch them at all. Obviously they need more testing to become robust. Currently, once they are installed, I will stay away from them as much as possible. Camille? Here? Any comment? Abel PS As a side note, gtk-doc seems to be very unhappy about docbook-style-dsssl missing docbook.css file. Will it be added back?
