I suggest you try the instructions on http://en.opensuse.org/Firefox before continuing this thread.
Thanks for this link! I have this page before, in updating FF on another machine that runs 11.1, but couldn't find it now for the task at hand for the 11.2 machine.
Here is the adventure of updating Firefox, and its surprising conclusion:
***** # zypper addrepo --refresh [...]
# zypper refresh [...] All repositories have been refreshed. # zypper install mozilla:MozillaFirefox Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... skipping package 'MozillaFirefox' (the newest version already installed) Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do. # *****
So supposedly all is well. But a look at "About Firefox" shows that what is there is v3.5.9, not v3.6.3.
Why?
Beacuse zypper never does a vendor change. Your actual FF is from the installation repository named "openSUSE". The FF you want is from the openSUSE Build system obs. You should use YaST's software management to switch vendors manually for the first time (see my other post that I sent also as PM by mistake :-]). After that, you will always have the latest version from that repo. But initially, you have to change the repo by hand. Or: uninstall FF with all dependencies and do a new "zypper in MozillaFirefox". Zypper will use the latest version from any repo, when this packe has not been installed yet. If it was already installed, zypper looks only at the repo you installed it from. It's a feature... ;-) HTH Werner -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJL7W79AAoJEOfJ7bNoiiCN7L8H/RmrF7HmyUjHn+7qbGuL8jHZ k0+FOK+EVM6wjKchyi2+LuEOu9Z+7Wy03G+Flk3RWzD/3dYeQ8Y/owAFkXlNM0o6 Uqt4Erp6RDHqfXEnVH9yLTBLqqW1CfwM5whf+U8l0bdaF1DgCCKidX2rIJnu0jYZ Y3OjXNMVhPuwYSQFjXFWiiMkgznQyP0FjqkMOXyicapq+xvWryf656tyHk8gR+Uy r+Biz+fQtpw1SRmpMkApu4IaHD4dmzySgh4B3ZCcmb+JJ+aYtGV4yn58yzQSzSRG ADQPq+ZBeaCIKmbxFeZ7Q64GmchBKonaQobhJ2bpDrxJw3dfo7oj1CIYpENWzDU= =MZWp -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
