Well I hope they are not fixing things one package at a time.  Yesterday I
reported 3 packages that also fail with the gecko-libs dependency

gtkmozembedmm.i386
gnome-python2-gtkmozembed
gtkmozembedmm.x86_64

As of this morning all 3 still fail to install due to the gecko-libs = 1.9
problem.  There seems to have been a fundamental failure somewhere in the
update "process".  Maybe the Fedora folks need to take a look at the whole
package interdependency scheme so they can avoid this sort of mess in the
future?  I've run been running Fedora since FC5 and I have never seen an
update problem like this before.
