Choice of repository error I think

[don fisher]

I recently installed F16. I had the fedora-update.repo repository 
enabled when I ran yum. Should fedora-updates.repo be enabled?

Yum installed firefox-10.0-1.fc16.x86_64 and 
xulrunner-10.0-1.fc16.x86_64. This combination does not appear to work. 
I do not know how to get back to where I was before the upgrade. I tried:

yum downgrade
yum distribution-synchronization

after disabling the fedora-updates.repo.

Any assistance would be appreciated. I am trying to return from Ubuntu, 
so it has been awhile.

Did you mean fedora-updates-testing.repo?  That's where Firefox 10 is
at present.  Generally you shouldn't have that enabled unless you like
to test new updates and have them break on occasion.

fedora-updates.repo should be enabled by default and remain enabled,
it's the stable updates repository.

You need to list the packages you want downgraded with the "yum
downgrade" command.  So you want to run:
yum downgrade firefox xulrunner

Looking at the update in the updates system [1], several other
packages were upgraded with it, so yum might complain stating those
need to be downgraded too.  Simply add the necessary packages to the
downgrade command to get it to work.

Please also file a bug [2] describing the problem so it gets fixed and
leave negative karma for the update [1] so a broken update doesn't get
pushed to stable.

Attached is the output from yumex. I didn't want to file a bug report 
until I was sure what the problem was. When I type the firefox command, 
nothing happens. I do not see anything relevant in /var/log/messages.

What YUM did looks fine.  Does abrt say anything about Firefox
crashing?  Look in your desktop's applications menu for "Automatic Bug
Reporting Tool" or run "abrt-gui" from ALT+F2 or a terminal, and see
if Firefox is listed.  If so, you can file a bug from there and it
will automatically include information that will aid developers in
fixing the problem.

If not, try running Firefox with a clean profile.  Run "firefox
-profilemanager" from ALT+F2 or a terminal and select "Create Profile"
on the left from the Profile Manager window.

Only thing listed by abrt-gui is emacs. firefox -profilemanager returned 
no output.

One nice thing about abrt, BTW, is that it searches for existing bugs 
before creating a new one.
