Could we get output of the command

rpm -qa firefox\* xulrunner\*

please?

Thank you

Comment 2 Neal Becker 2008-05-03 19:15:39 UTC
rpm -qa firefox\* xulrunner\*
firefox-3.0-0.60.beta5.fc9.x86_64
xulrunner-devel-1.9-0.60.beta5.fc9.x86_64

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2008-05-03 19:37:20 UTC
How did you install firefox? This is really weird, because firefox hard depends
on the package xulrunner, which you don't have installed.

Install please package yum-utils and then run

package-cleanup --problems

and fix any problems it will report using yum.

If the problem persists, reopen the bug with additional information.

Comment 4 Neal Becker 2008-05-03 21:03:55 UTC
 I had installed fox3 under F8 from the test release (announced on one of the
fedora lists some time ago).  After a while this caused yum update problems,
so I was forced to do rpm -e --justdb to get things working again.  Probably
explains the problem.

Comment 5 Matěj Cepl 2008-05-03 22:03:47 UTC
Yeah, I suspected something like that -- packages you have just cannot work. I
think your computer is in the urgent need of package-cleanup --problems.
