Many people have suggested that the problem is with the mirror list that I have in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources, and that the problem will go away if only I wait a while or edit .../sources to have only one source for updates. In fact: (1) The problem has persisted for about 3 days, ever since 25-Feb. (2) I don't have a mirror list; I use a single server. The key line in .../sources is: yum updates-released-fc3 http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/updates/3/x86_64 This is reflected by a message from up2date in one of its start screens, namely: Channel Information yum channel fedora-core-3 from http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/core/3/x86_64/os And, in fact, firefox-1.0.1-1.3.1.x86_64.rpm is present on this server. (3) BTW: No-one has given an opinion about whether it's worth while to update firefox by hand. Thanks to all for your quick replies: -- Jonathan Ryshpan <jonrysh@xxxxxxxxxxx> Berkeley Linux Team
