Well, whatever else... I can certainly tell you that updating these
broke my Evolution (stock from RH8... 1.0.8-10) in a big way.
Not having the time to go through all the support pages and thinking
that upgrading Evolution would fix things, downloaded Red Carpet and
updated Evolution. Didn't fix the problem, still wouldn't start.
Went through the Support pages, found this:
"Add /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3b to /etc/ld.so.conf, then run
/sbin/ldconfig (as root) and this should fix the problem
for all users."
Sure enough. Now I have Evolution 1.2.2, with lots of improvements, and
it works again. Of course, I had to take a deep breath and have both
up2date and red-carpet on the same system, but so it goes. I figure I
will use red-carpet to update only what is necessary, and be careful
that up2date does not try to recover those packages.
Hopefully 8.1 will be out soon.
