This is an outdated version of Jade package. You did certainly not get
it from the sourceware FTP site. jade-1.2.1-6 does not even have a
postinstall script anymore, and the syntax of install-catalog script has
changed anyhow.
What puzzles me is that it has the same release number as ours. Mere
coincidence, or is there something really broken in your RPM database?

Yes.

Get and reinstall latest jade package.

I'm planning it - maybe I'm starting to work on this next week. Someone
already gave it a try and I'll probably recontact this person as soon as
I find him/her back in my old emails ;-).
Coming soon too are also fixes for the two following problems:
- The centralized catalogs in /etc/sgml are not complete if installing
in the following order:
docbook-dtd31-sgml
docbook-style-dssl
docbook-dtd40-sgml
(this installation order is perfectly valid and the problem cannot be
solved through prereqs)
There's a symmetrical problem when uninstalling a version of the DTD
but not the style sheets
nor another version of the DTD.
- Recognition of the catalogs used by a variant of the docbook DTD like
KDE one
The bugs are already fixed but I did not rebuild the packages for the
first bug yet.
Thanks to the persons who reported these two bugs (Roman Hodek and
Frederik Fouvry)
