Well it's traumatic to recall those sour days. My mood swang wildly between tears for my lost productivity and bitter anger at cox cable my ISP (Cox, coincidentally, I can think of a homonym that aptly describes them) who couldn't keep the network up long enough for me to get a package down. And I was disappointed to that neither RedHat or Ximian's installers noticed that the Mozilla packages were out of sync. I prefer Galeon so I reinstalled Ximian via Red Carpet, but it only replaced the main mozilla packages. Mozilla, Galeon, Nauilus, and Evolution were dead. Uninstalling all of those via Red Carpet, then reinstalling got me most of the correct packages, but libnspr4 was still an older version. I should note that I could not get rpm to uninstall some of these because there were more than one package matching the names of the packages I was uninstalling. I don't know if that means there were failed installs or wrongly forced installs during the upgrade, but Red Carpet gladly removed them. I downloaded libnspr4 and libnss3 from rpmfind.net and used rpm -i --force to install them. I also downloaded galeon but I believe that Red Carpet would have delivered it. Taking no chances, I ran killev, and oaf-slay. Mozilla, then Galeon, then Nautilus all ran correctly as if they had been no problem. Evolution lost my mail setting in the fiasco, but I suspect that was my doing. I took the opportunity to do a fresh install and copied my old local folders into Evolution 1.0. As I've used it since v0.6, there was a lot of trash in ~/evolution that was better left behind.
