Upgrade mozilla from 1.0.1 to 1.2.1 RH8
 
I'm trying to upgrade from the default mozilla 1.0.1 that redhat 8 comes with.

I tried to first remove mozilla with this command:
rpm -e mozilla
and I get these errors:
libmozjs.so is needed by (installed) mozilla-mail-1.0.1-26
libmozjs.so is needed by (installed) mozilla-psm-1.0.1-26
libxpcom.so is needed by (installed) mozilla-mail-1.0.1-26
libxpcom.so is needed by (installed) mozilla-psm-1.0.1-26
mozilla = 1.0.1-26 is needed by (installed) mozilla-mail-1.0.1-26
mozilla = 1.0.1-26 is needed by (installed) mozilla-psm-1.0.1-26

Then I tried to upgrade anyway, so I got the new mozilla 1.2.1 rpm, and I tried this:
rpm -Uvh mozilla-1.2.1-0_rh8.i386.rpm
and I get these errors:
error: Failed dependencies:
mozilla-nspr = 1.2.1-0_rh8 is needed by mozilla-1.2.1-0_rh8
mozilla = 1.0.1-26 is needed by (installed) mozilla-mail-1.0.1-26
mozilla = 1.0.1-26 is needed by (installed) mozilla-psm-1.0.1-26

Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks a ton for any help!

why do you assume that something is wrong?? you have dependencies. kinda like cooties but for linux. get those additional packages (or remove them, esp that psm and mail junk. then just install them all in one comand line.

Hrm, it worked. Thanks a bunch. I still have the mail and psm "junk" though..

I tried this to remove the mail package:
rpm -e *moz*mail*
but it said package not found... but I'm pretty sure I installed it. Same thing happens when I try to uninstall psm.

indexhtml is needed by mozilla-1.2.1-0_rh8_xft

any suggestions?
