I've now done it on the backup machine -- which, unlike the current main one, actually has a working instance of Galeon. (I can't seem to escape dependency hell on the main machine ...) But that turns out to create a problem.
When I try to do yum update, it looks normal at first, but then aborts with this : ===== Resolving dependencies ....Unable to satisfy dependencies Package galeon needs mozilla = 37:1.4.2, this is not available. [root@localhost root]# ===== I have slogged through man yum and man yum.conf, but can't seem to find a command that tells yum to update everything *but* galeon. Is there one??
Try doing: yum --exclude=galeon update snipped from man yum: --exclude=package Exclude a specific package by name or glob from updates on all repositories. Configuration Option: excludped from man yum:
