[Evolution] Red Carpet: cannot parse channel information

[Hal Eisen <eisen dunhackin org>]

I'm trying to use Red Carpet to upgrade to the latest Evolution
snapshot.  When RC gets to the "Downloading channel data" phase for
the Evolution Snapshot, it pops up an error dialog.  The dialog says:

  Red Carpet has encountered an error while trying to process your request:
  An error occured trying to parse channel information.

  This may be caused either by an old version of Red Carpet that is
  unable to read newer data files or by an error on the server. If you
  cancel, Red Carpet will quit.

  You should report this error to red-carpet ximian com 
  Error code: CP-1

The dialog has buttons for Retry and Cancel.  No matter how many times
I press Retry, the error stays the same.  If I press Cancel, RC exits
and I can't even work with non-Evolution channels.

I've filed a bug against RC in bugzilla, but I thought it might not be
an actual RC bug, but rather a problem with the way the channel data
is pushed out by the Evolution nightly builds.

I'm running "red-carpet-1.0-ximian.10" and
"evolution-0.10.99-snap.ximian.200107121518" though this also happens
on "red-carpet-1.0.93-ximian.1".  My OS is Red Hat 6.1 with a 2.2.16
kernel.

Any ideas?  Is anyone else seeing this?
