it was more of some pointers for next time things go unstable. rpm -V
is pretty handy.

This tells me there might be problem with the gnome-vfs2 package as installed.
This is saying that the Size of those files on disk is not the
samesize as the rpmdb expected. The ? there is saying the md5sum check
couldnt be performed. You can read up in the rpm man page about the
syntax of the -V output for more information.

Now its my understanding that rpm -V does attempt to take prelink
activity into account, but if that feature is buggy you might be
seeing some false positives due to prelink. On my system rpm -V
gnome-vfs2 returns cleanly. So you might try reinstalling gnome-vfs2
and see if things get better.
