Description Jay Denebeim 2012-03-05 20:03:06 UTC
Description of problem:
xulrunner up to at least version 1.9.2.24-2.el5_7 provided /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins  The current version 10.0.1-2.el5_8 does not provide that directory.  Nothing does.

This results in an error:

1:java-1.6.0-sun-plugin-1.6.0.31-1jpp.1.el5.i586 ... has depsolving problems
Missing Dependency: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins needed by ...

Yum update fails due to the depsolving failure.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xulrunner 10.0.1-2.el5_8

How reproducible:
100% of the time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
2.yum install xulrunner
3.rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
  
Actual results:
Only the first query contains xulrunner

Expected results:
Both rpm queries should contain xulrunner

Additional info:
The environment I'm working in has no provision for a local redhat based system to be connected to the internet.  This requires me to use mrepo to synchronize to rhn offsite and transfer deltas of the update repository to a local repository.  It is possible that this provision has been moved to another package, however I've been unable to locate any references on-line to that event and my repository does not have it.
