What happens if you just try to "yum remove firefox" and after that is done do a "yum install firefox"? Since I remember you saying something about salvaging a half-updated machine, did you (1) do "yum distro-sync full", (2) make sure that /etc/os-release says Fedora 19, and (3) check that repository definitions under /etc/yum.repos.d/ actually point to Fedora 19 repos? Also, I vaguely remember that upgrading from F17 to F19 is not exactly a great idea, and that you'd be better off upgrading to F18 first, and only after that upgrade to F19. Though I believe it's now obsolete advice, given that you have already performed the upgrade... ;-) HTH, :-) Marko -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
