Hi List mates,
The repo is: $ zypper lr -d | grep mozilla:beta 9 | mozilla:beta| mozilla:beta | Yes | Yes|98| rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla:/beta/openSUSE_11.4
and, this is when I try to install it: # zypper install MozillaFirefox-4.99-7.1.x86_64 Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies...
Problem: nothing provides mozilla-nss>= 3.12.10 needed by MozillaFirefox-4.99-7.1.x86_64 Solution 1: do not install MozillaFirefox-4.99-7.1.x86_64 Solution 2: break MozillaFirefox by ignoring some of its dependencies Try here: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/mozilla/openSUSE_11.4/x86_64/
it has mozilla-nss 3.12.10 I tried to install the 32-bit version of FF 5 using the 1-click installation given here
http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=Firefox&baseproject=openSUSE%3AFactory&exclude_debug=true
and it failed.
I then tried the rpm way of installing - and this failed because of some dependency problem :-( .
"Great way of getting things done", I thought. Then went and downloaded the tar.bz2 file from Mozilla and installed FF 5 manually.

Hi Basil; You somewhat confuse the issue by mixing 64 and 32 bit versions together. Also, be aware that beta and factory repos contain programs that are likely to contain errors and missing dependencies. If/when that occurs, file a bug report about it and the situation will likely be remedied with a few days.

I am not sure that I am mixing 64 and 32 bit versions together.
Nor do I**think that *I* need to make any bug report about anything.
This is the suse help mail list.
Someone posted his/her experience about trying to install Firefox 5 which failed.
Nobody asked that person to submit a bug report about his problem.
I simply responded to this general statement in this general mail list about my own experience with FF 5.
It seems that what you are suggesting is that whenever someone has a bit of trouble with anything to do with openSUSE then the immediate thing to do is for a person to submit a bug report.
A simple question or discussion about an apparent problem is not good enough anymore.
And to make even worse, a while back I asked a question in this list about something to do with KDE only to be "told off" by (?)Will Stephenson that my question should have been asked in opensuse-kde list and not in opensuse mail list.
So what the heck is opensuse all about then?
We have opensuse-kde, opensuse-gnome, opensuse-factory, opensuse-kernel, et al.
Does one now have to go thru a personal agony of deciding in which list to ask a general question about something or else end up getting a kick up the backside for asking it in the wrong list?
There is a difference between bureaucracy and out-of-control bureaucracy.

Sorry that you seem to have taken my comments as a personal insult, it was not meant that way. I only meant that when a problem is encountered when installing a milestone release, one remedy is to file a bug report so the developers, who don't always frequent this list, can be made aware of the problem and provide a fix. In the case of a dependency not being met, it may take a few days for that information to get from this list to the developer responsible for it whereas a bug report reaches him/her more promptly (so they tell us).
