Yup, like I said, it's a new machine that I've just built over the last
couple of days or so.
No, the rpm database does NOT show this version of files installed, but a
previous version.
Ok, I agree, they did not get installed in the first place, but why ?
Following the directions on the Gnome site, I did a 'rpm -Uvh *.rpm' in the
directory with the updated files.

are you really sure these are the files you installed from? I would
reinstall them. If the rpm database tells you they are already install,
*then* I'd be worried, otherwise I'd say they didn't get installe din the
first place.
