I went to install mplayerplug-in with yum, and it wanted to install Mozilla. I went along with it, but then the Mozilla 1.73 rpm depended upon Firefox 0.93 (why?). I already had Firefox 1.0 installed, so yum quit, since it didn't want to replace Firefox 1.0 with 0.93. To get it to work, I had to uninstall firefox, and run 'yum install mplayerplug-in' again. I let it install all dependencies, including Mozilla 1.73 and Firefox 0.93. Then I ran 'yum update firefox' to get Firefox back up to 1.0. I'm using the yum.conf from http://fedorafaq.org/samples/yum.conf, so I shouldn't be having any repository conflicts, right? Why did this happen? Did I work around it the right way? I have never had an ounce of trouble with yum, so this makes me a little nervous. Thanks, Matt
