Can Galeon still run under Fedora 7 (or 8)?

When I tried to run "yum update" under F7, it choked on Galeon,
because of a gecko-libs dependency. I told it "yum remove gecko-libs" ;
it took a whole bunch of other stuff with it; then I told it "yum install
<other stuff>", in two or three stages.
It installed all the other stuff except Galeon.
I tried things like "yum install gecko-libs," and it told me that
was supplied by some other app -- but not which.
Neither rpm -q, nor slocate, nor find, nor beagle-gui can find
it. I have Firefox and Epiphany running. So I tried installing Seamonkey.
That succeeded.
But I still get this Catch-22 :
[root at localhost ~]# yum install galeon
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package galeon.i386 0:2.0.3-11.fc7 set to be updated
--> Processing Dependency: gecko-libs = 1.8.1.5 for package: galeon
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: gecko-libs = 1.8.1.5 is needed by package
galeon
[root at localhost ~]# yum update gecko-libs
Setting up Update Process
Could not find update match for gecko-libs

[root at localhost ~]#
Is there hope?? I do see a couple of threads on
gmane.linux.redhat.fedora.general about firefox and about dependencies
that mention what seems essentially the same trouble; but they only
confuse me the more, alas!

I have precious (very precious) little idea where up is.
