If you install the "yelp" package do things start working for you?

Comment 3 wz884 2007-06-25 15:35:21 UTC
Yelp made the menu's work again, however it uses firefox 1.5 as a dependent.  I
have been using 2.0.0.4, is there a work around or do I need 1.5?

Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-06-25 20:45:34 UTC
Unfortunately, you don't have a lot of options.  Firefox 2.0 isn't supported in
RHEL 5.  I don't believe it is ABI compatible with firefox 1.5, so you would
need to rebuild yelp against your version of firefox.  The rebuilt yelp package
wouldn't be supported either, obviously.

Comment 5 wz884 2007-06-25 22:58:32 UTC
Thanks for the help.  I'll either rebuild or keep both browsers.  (Probably keep
both so my RHN support is affected if I need it.)

Comment 6 RHEL Program Management 2014-03-07 12:51:02 UTC
This bug/component is not included in scope for RHEL-5.11.0 which is the last RHEL5 minor release. This Bugzilla will soon be CLOSED as WONTFIX (at the end of RHEL5.11 development phase (Apr 22, 2014)). Please contact your account manager or support representative in case you need to escalate this bug.

Comment 7 RHEL Program Management 2014-06-02 13:20:39 UTC
Thank you for submitting this request for inclusion in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. We've carefully evaluated the request, but are unable to include it in RHEL5 stream. If the issue is critical for your business, please provide additional business justification through the appropriate support channels (https://access.redhat.com/site/support).
