Actual results: installation failure due to depencies Expected results: instalation of openvrml Additional info: Question : why is openvrml dependent on a certain version of firefox and not on a minimal version? Is firefox so "backwards-incompatible"?
Yes, it is. libopenvrml links with libmozjs, which Firefox puts in a versioned directory. This has already been fixed; the new packages just haven't propagated yet.
openvrml-0.16.4-3.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
