Where did you find mozilla 1.3 for Mandrake 9.0? I cannot find it in any of the usual sources. I suspect you have got yourself mozilla-1.3 for 9.1 in which case there will be many dependencies which will be difficult for you to resolve. The simplest way round it is to upgrade to 9.1, or else get the mozilla source and compile it yourself. As for the question do we "not quite so newbies" chase down dependencies one at a time? The answer is no. We (or at least I) define a number of urpmi sources such as Texstar, plf, and Mandrake Club where updated packages appear for various Mandrake releases. The simple command urpmi mozilla would be all that was needed to upgrade to the latest version of mozilla the sources contained as well as all its dependencies.
