Good morning, all.

First of all, I'm certain this question has been addressed before but I cannot find any way to search the archives... only thing that's available is to call up each archive individually, open each thread individually that looks like it might contain useful information, and read.

Isn't there a way to search the archives on keyword?

Now, my main question... attempting to use Package Updater to update my F7 installation on VMware (which has always worked well before) and got "Error resolving dependencies". Clicked on Details and got "Missing Dependency firefox=2.0.0.4 is needed by package Democracy".

First of all, what the heck is package Democracy? I tried to find it in the list of stuff to be updated, so that I could deselect it and update everything else, and it wasn't there.

Mainly, though ... I HAVE Firefox 2.0.0.4. How do I convince Package Updater that I have what it says it needs?


You misunderstood the message. You have a package called Democracy which is build against a older version of Firefox while a newer version is available as an update.

If you want to learn what a package is for you can do yum info <packagename>. In this case it is a media player and you can remove it if you don't need it.

# yum remove democracy
# yum update
