Okay further to my woes, I did a yum clean all, it cleaned up
everything, tried to do a yum update for firefox and I got zippo the
hippo for updates for this now. I have yum update running now and its
getting other things but not firefox, any thoughts ? Could I have simply
hit a dog slow updating mirror ?
Possibly. Note that the gecko-libs stuff comes from Firefox and will
break a lot of dependencies. It's best to "yum --exclude=firefox*
update" for now until all the packages that depend on gecko-libs get
rebuilt.
