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.
Nor do I**think that *I* need to make any bug report about anything.
You don't have to. But above you have complained about something which "failed" and something which "failed because of some dependency problem". So if you think it should be fixed you probably should open a bugreport. If you don't care, you don't need to bother but then I'm wondering why your mail reads like you are complaining about something.
Someone posted his/her experience about trying to install Firefox 5 which failed.
I guess my answer to Andi was fast enough and correct. So I could ask why you answered with something completely different? Did you want to have an answer to your issue? It's pretty easy: mozilla:Factory is absolutely not meant to provide backports. The packages there are meant for inclusion into Factory. For backports there is mozilla for stable versions and mozilla:beta for beta versions (and mozilla:legacy for old unmaintained versions). Also without posting any error message it's not possible to do anything beyond that. So Basil, please, if you want to have something fixed, please provide proper information. It's fine if you do that on this list.
Nobody asked that person to submit a bug report about his problem.
Because there is no bug and he got his answer within 30 minutes. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
