I noticed some yum strangeness the other day, related to this. I went
to install mplayerplug-in with yum, and it wanted to install Mozilla.
I went along with it, but then the Mozilla 1.73 rpm depended upon
Firefox 0.93 (why?). I already had Firefox 1.0 installed, so yum quit,
since it didn't want to replace Firefox 1.0 with 0.93.
To get it to work, I had to uninstall firefox, and run 'yum install
mplayerplug-in' again. I let it install all dependencies, including
Mozilla 1.73 and Firefox 0.93. Then I ran 'yum update firefox' to get
Firefox back up to 1.0.
I'm using the yum.conf from http://fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf, so
I shouldn't be having any repository conflicts, right? Why did this
happen? Did I work around it the right way?
I have never had an ounce of trouble with yum, so this makes me a
little nervous.
Thanks,
Matt
