How can I get around this problem? Thanks- First of all, why did you post this message as a reply to the thread called "Re: Printing Problems"? You did want to compose an entirely new message, didn't you? The 35 is the Epoch, separated by a colon. It is normally not part of the package file name and hence invisible unless you query the package headers. Have a look at what your installed galeon package depends on rpm --query --requires galeon If it requires Mozilla 1.2.1 (Epoch 35), you should not have Mozilla 1.4.1 installed right now, because that breaks the dependency and should not have been allowed. Smells like a --nodeps or --force installation of either galeon or mozilla. --
