Evolution won't install: can't use email

Quite an awkward situation.

I am running Mandrake Linux 8.1 on a dual-processor (Intel Pentium III) MB.

Yesterday I downloaded Evolution by itself, forced RPM to ignore some
dependencies, and roached my Evolution.

I then bought the Professional Desktop.

I have been trying to install from the network while awaiting my disks, as
Evolution now doesn't work at all.

Installation fails because "There are no suitable providers of (any)
gtk-engines-thinice- for Ximian-doorman-1.0.9-1 Ximian 1 [Ximian GNOME].

There is already a thinice library "user/lib/gtk/engines/libthinice.la" and
".../libthinice.so".  There is a new version of libthinice for GTK+ on
sourceforge.  This is a source library, and it needs to know GTK+'s location
for configuration.

I found "gtk2-2.0.5-1gtk.i386.rpm" on gtk.org.  RPM hangs installing this
library.

I found "gtk+2-1.3.13-2mdk.i586.rpm" on mandrake.com.  RPM hangs installing
this library.

I assume my RPM is out of date ??

How do solve this problem?  Why did I have this problem?
