I've been seeing the same problem. I noticed that scrollkeeper and a half-
dozen or so gnome programs were kept back in recent 'apt-get upgrade's.
So, I tried 'apt-get install scrollkeeper' just to see what would happen.
It installed, bringing along docbook-xml, sgml-base, and sgml-data. It
then spit out several dozen lines about Registering, Updating, and
Unregistering a bunch of /usr/share/omf/gnome-applets/*.omf files,
complaining about syntax problems in a few of the files. When the dust
all settled, gnome-utils and the other kept back programs all installed.
If I had to guess, there are probably some screwed-up entries somewhere in
the gnome help files, but I can live with that.
HTH,
Bill
