Description Michel Lind 2008-02-20 13:39:25 UTC
Description of problem:
The current version of Firefox in Rawhide is a 3.0b4pre, and as such the 
xulrunner dependency has been bumped up. The corresponding version of xulrunner 
in Rawhide is older (see version numbers below), so Firefox aborts when started.

(Curious: was this not detected at compile time? Or was Firefox compiled with a 
newer version of xulrunner, but for some reason the proper Requires: is not 
automatically detected?)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
firefox-3.0-0.beta3.22.nightly20080215.fc9
xulrunner-1.9-0.beta2.12.nightly20080121.fc9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install firefox
2. firefox
  
Actual results:
Error: Platform version '1.9b3pre' is not compatible with
minVersion >= 1.9b4pre
maxVersion <= 1.9b4pre

Expected results:
Should work. Or should not have installed, since the matching xulrunner is not 
in Rawhide

Additional info:

Comment 1 Michel Lind 2008-02-22 18:57:55 UTC
Works with the current xulrunner. Still, shouldn't the xulrunner package provides a more fine-grained API 
version (something in-between the current gecko-libs=1.9 and xulrunner=1.9.0-beta3.bla) that the 
firefox package can then Requires: ? That way we won't get mismatched updates.

Problem should be moot with stable versions, anyway.

I'm just evil and want to get people in the habit of yum updateing both.  :-)

This won't be an issue in the final builds, you're right.  Closing this one out.
