Hello Eugene,

Thank you for that information. Yum says that there is no update available.

I downloaded and built the tarball gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0.tar.bz2 with no 
errors. I followed the instructions in the INSTALL file. Now all I have 
to do is see if I can build the gramps package without the dependency error.

When I tried to build a .rpm package from the tarball though I got a 
heap of errors. See following;

[root barney gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0]# rpmbuild -tb 
gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0.tar.bz2
error: File gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0.tar.bz2: No such file or directory
sh: gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0.tar.bz2: No such file or directory
sh: gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0.tar.bz2: No such file or directory
error: Name field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Version field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Release field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Summary field must be present in package: (main package)
error: Group field must be present in package: (main package)
error: License field must be present in package: (main package)
[root barney gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0]# man rpmbuild
[root barney gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0]#

I'm a bit reluctant to experiment here. The above errors seem to 
indicate that rpmbuild cannot unpack a .bz2 tarball. Do you know if that 
assumption is correct?

Thanks,
