Any chance you downloaded Red Carpet 2.2.3?  I installed that last week,
and was a bit dubious when it depended on a snapshot version of rcd (the
Red Carpet daemon).  Ever since I installed it, it's become useless.
The "Updates" page always says my system is up-to-date (I never
installed all the 'suggested' updates before, so I know it's not).  It
seems to have lost track of which installed software came from which
channel, so it can't compare installed vs. available version numbers
(everything in "Installed Software" says "Channel=None").

I guess I'm going to have to remove RCD via the command line and install
an older version from scratch (I didn't have RC's 'rollback' feature
enabled before).
