Hi Paul
Actually I mis-read the SoS site and didn't see the extra part about
including his urmpi files,
which are the ones that contain the latest firefox bits.
When I did that the new firefox-1.5.x was installed, but it still
deleted the yelp and
epiphany and Gnome2.10 packages. This is because yelp and epiphany
require exactly
1.0.6 (presumably for the HTML rendering) for some reason instead of at
least 1.0.6.
To reinstall those required reinstalling firefox 1.0.6. I'm actually
sorted on firefox myself
(I have a local file in my home folder which I use) - I was just trying
to do what the posts
were suggesting to see if I could get it to work out of interest and
also so can help others.
Neither of these packages (yelp and epiphany) seemed to have updates either.
Short of upgrading Gnome (and I like it too much to use KDE), I can't
find a way of getting
around the yelp and epiphany issues. Unless there is a way of using
urpmi to upgrade and
keep the original packages installed?
Regards
Neill

Having said thanks :-) don't do this as it will delete the other

It also just reinstalled firefox 1.0.6 rather than 1.5.02

Add Wawkwind's SoS source (seerofsouls.com btw), then as root:
urpme mozilla-firefox && urpmi mozilla-firefox. Should install
1.5.02 or something similar. If it just says that the following
packages contain mozilla-firefox:.......... then add the -a flag to
the urpme part of the command.
Thanks :-)

Ok why don't you download the rpm manually then urpmi the local
filename. That should resolve deps just fine. As far as 1.0.6, not
sure on that one. It might be urpmi needs updating (urpmi.update -a).
Try urpmi on the firefox rpm you download. It might require the full
path to work (/home/neill/firefox-1.5.0.2-SoS.rpm.whatever).
Sorry I'm sounding kinda lame on the fanciness of my typing but I'm
kinda pumped from watching MI 3 and my adrenaline is pumping and I
should get to bed lol.
