How to Update Firefox on Fedora Core Linux
Using the yum command line usility:
yum -y –enablerepo=development update firefox
(there are two dashes preceding “enablerepo”)
When I used this line I got some transaction check failures thet looked something like:
file /usr/share/pkgconfig/gnome-doc-utils.pc from install of gnome-doc-utils-stylesheets-0.12.0-1.fc8 conflicts with file from package gnome-doc-utils-0.8.0-2.fc6
To fix this, I did the following:
yum -y –enablerepo=development update gnome-doc-utils
This updated the necessary packages, then I re-ran:
yum -y –enablerepo=development update firefox
Success!
