Comment 1 Bengt-Erik Soderstrom 2007-07-24 08:17:03 UTC
With the update of gtkmozembedmm distributed on 2007-07-24 this bug has been
resolved. Its status can be changed to resolved.

This is not really a bug in Fedora 7 or Yum. It only points to incufficient
testing before uploading new versions of components or programs being part of
the Fedora distributions.
