Ah - yes.

Apparently, if you only grabbed the mozilla RPM and want mozilla-1.7.8-1.3.1 instead of the mozilla-1.7.10-1.3.1 that's the latest in updates. > > Yes. Yum does that automatically for you. But, reading between the lines from the earlier thread of the same topic, I deduce he grabbed an older mozilla rpm in order to try to get around a galeon dependency issue with the most current update.

Good advice when it works. If you really want the older-than-current mozilla version, get all the same-version RPMS and update with "rpm -Uvh mozilla*" - all at once. Does not guarantee that there will not be other dep problems. Updating with yum will still be broken if the later versions in updates have dependency problems with galeon or other installed packages.
