I had this problem once. In kpackage I could see that mysteriously, moz 0.96 had been installed without overwriting 0.94, so there were now effectively TWO mozillas onboard and when I tried to install galeon, it only saw the first, earlier, one. This is not supposed to be possible unless you ask for it explicitly, but it happened anyway (there were two Galeons too - it was really messy in there). The answer in my case was to do, logged in as root, this command in a terminal: "rpm -e mozilla" TWICE. In fact, keep doing it until you get an error message saying that mozilla is not installed. After that, a "rpm --rebuilddb" is probably a good thing. Now you can install Mozilla (try this: "rpm -Uvh /var/cache/grpmi/mozilla[TAB]" - if there still is a copy of mozilla in the cache, and there should be, it will pick it up) cleanly and then install galeon on top of it.
