I've noted at least one, other package that has some issues with the rebase (and a package not maintained by Red Hat). The dependency isn't in Firefox itself, but it is being triggered by the Firefox update. > Anyway, I'll open a bug report soon with the details ... which may > only be interesting to a small subset of RHEL users! Please, please do! It's these combinational cases that Red Hat really, really relies on customers for pointing out, that the Red Hat Test Suite and other integration and regression testing approaches may miss internally. Bugzilla is the best, direct way to hit maintainers, and get their notice -- far, far more direct and definitely more powerful than what even Red Hat employees can do for posters on this list (especially if generated by a Premium or TAM Support ticket). > Oh, one other thing with 3.6.4, which the release notes > allude to, you may find that you have to use a newer version > (1.6 vs 1.5) of the 32-bit JRE and java plugin for compatibility. Just FYI, in the Extras/Supplementary channels, many of the 1.5 releases of Java have been yanked by the 3rd parties that provide them, due to various security issues. Some install a dummy package.
