Question System Update Problem - package dependency


Hello all, I am trying to update my system but I receive an error message for package dependency problem!?!!?

I look accross the package update list to disable the update of mozilla but there is NO mozilla in it?!?!?!

What should I do to shut this down and update my system?

There was a package dependency problem. The message was:

What distribution and what package manager are you using to get these errors? That would help a lot.

Try logging in as root and doing
Code:
#yum upgrade
If you keep having issues with Mozilla, try doing
Code:
#yum --exclude=mozilla* upgrade
