yum update on broken dependencies

[kellingc]

A couple of weeks ago, I went to run a yum update, but got this message:

Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I've been running yum with --skip-broken since, but I'd like to know what package I need to get to the service level that xulrunner and firefox need.

I forgotr to say this earlier - I'm running Fedora 12.

I believe that there are a few threads somewhere in this forum about this issue. As I recall, the solution was to run these commands

su -c 'yum remove xulrunner-devel'
su -c 'yum update'

Both commands require root password.

That fixed it. Thanks.
