Hi all,
I have downloaded the latest version of Mozilla and am subsequently trying
to uninstall my existing version of Mozilla to make way for the new one.
Most of the components such as Mozilla mail and others I have managed to
uninstall without problem. However, when I attempt to uninstall Mozilla
itself, I get the following sequence:
[root at mit243linux mozilla]# rpm -e mozilla
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
mozilla >= 0.9.2-10 is needed by nautilus-mozilla-1.0.4-43
libgtkembedmoz.so is needed by nautilus-mozilla-1.0.4-43
libgtksuperwin.so is needed by nautilus-mozilla-1.0.4-43
libnspr4.so is needed by nautilus-mozilla-1.0.4-43
libplc4.so is needed by nautilus-mozilla-1.0.4-43
libplds4.so is needed by nautilus-mozilla-1.0.4-43
libxpcom.so is needed by nautilus-mozilla-1.0.4-43
[root at mit243linux mozilla]# rpm -e nautilus-mozilla-1.0.4-43
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
nautilus-mozilla is needed by nautilus-1.0.4-43
[root at mit243linux mozilla]# rpm -e nautilus-1.0.4-43
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
nautilus = 1.0.4 is needed by nautilus-mozilla-1.0.4-43
libnautilus.so.0 is needed by nautilus-mozilla-1.0.4-43
[root at mit243linux mozilla]#
As you can see there seems to be a recursive dependency. Does anyone know a
way around this? I am using Redhat 7.2
thanks in advance 8-)
David.
