I am still not understanding either what the problem was or how to
work around it. Was it that people experiencing this problem updated
from repositories that had the new firefox but did not have updates
for all the things (e.g. epiphany) that might depend on gecko-libs? So
we should've tried to figure out what installed packages depend on
gecko-libs and look for updates for all of them? Was there something
on those pages you mention above that should've implied this to me? Or
should I have understood this from the original error messages, e.g.
> "Error: Missing Dependency: gecko-libs = 1.8.1.5 is needed by package
> epiphany"

thanks,
