Galeon always lags behind new releases of moziila because the API changes so 
much. The latest released Galeon source simply will not build against mozilla 
1.7.3.

If you want to install mozilla 1.7.3 and can do without galeon for a while, 
just remove galeon and wait for a new release.

Galeon is not part of the Fedora Core distribution anyway, so there won't be 
an official Fedora release.

It's an "Epoch" number. Epochs are used to indicate a change in version 
numbering schemes, so for instance version 0.1 of an "Epoch 2" RPM will be 
seen by RPM as being a later version that version 7.5 of an "Epoch 1" RPM for 
the same package. Quite why the Fedora RPMs use such a high Epoch number I 
don't know.
