I haven't done an update in several days, so I started yum to check if
upgrades were needed. I got a list and started the update, and was told
gecko-libs was out of date, and is used by everything. Since it's not a
package, I did this:
localhost:root> yum provides gecko-libs
Loading "refresh-updatesd" plugin
firefox.i386 : Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
firefox.i386 : Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
firefox.i386 : Mozilla Firefox Web browser.
localhost:root> yum upgrade firefox
Loading "refresh-updatesd" plugin

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: gecko-libs = 1.8.1.8 is needed by package yelp
localhost:root>
I always get a bad feeling when something is treated as if it were a
package but isn't... so:
localhost:root> yum --enablerepo=updates-testing list '*gecko*'
Loading "refresh-updatesd" plugin
Available Packages
gecko-sharp2.i386 0.12-5.fc8 fedora
gecko-sharp2-devel.i386 0.12-5.fc8 fedora
localhost:root>
No gecko-lib package, can't upgrade firefox which supposedly provides
the libs, now what?
