Yes, Bill, it looks that you are right but before I started
this time I had both of the above uninstalled (i386 variants only,
not x86_64 equivalents).

I did try to install i386 versions of mozilla-nspr and mozilla-nss,
both 1.7.3-13 and also 1.7.3-12 which later I asked yum to update to
1.7.3-13, and everything now worked.  I wish I would know what
all of that was about this morning but yum did request
mozilla-1.7.3-13.i386.rpm and refused to proceed otherwise.
At this point I did 'rpm -e mozilla-nspr.i386 mozilla-nss.i386'.
Unfortunately I did not think to save yum messages.  I was quite
sure that I can reproduce that at will.  Sigh!

I will leave these packages installed, although nothing is really
using them on my installation, and I will see what future will
bring. If this makes any difference I was (likely) updating 1.7.3-11
version of all mozilla packages, and not 1.7.3-12, to the current
one and this does not seem to be around anymore. 2.92 has 1.7.3-7.
