Here is what happened with urpmi mozilla:

I have files named hdlist.* in /var/lib/urpmi and urpmi is looking
for list.*.
The last few lines from strace mozilla:
access("/usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/chrome/custom-strings.txt", F_OK) = -1
ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("/usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/components/libnsappshell.so", O_RDONLY) = 5

I can run mozilla 1.4a from its download directory.
Unrelated, but with Evolution 1.0.2, Insert text file would not auto
line-wrap, but Evolution 1.2.2 seems to do this by default, and I have
not been able to turn off line wrap yet. Sorry for the ugly output
above.
