Hello,
I've been stuck for a while with an old version of firefox, installed from local .rpm (I know.. I should have downgraded using yum, instead) and added a exclude=firefox to the relevant .repo file. I did that after a yum-update has brought firefox 52+, and all add-ons were deprecated because of their new add-on scheme.
Today that all the add-ons I need are available, I've tried upgrading to the latest Firefox version available from the updates repo.. I removed the exclude line in .repo file, but `yum update` didn't bring any firefox version at all: "No packages marked for update". I've struggled a bit, no way to get firefox installed using yum. See..
$ rpm -q firefox firefox-52.8.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64
$ yum info firefox Installed Packages Name : firefox Arch : x86_64 Version : 52.8.0 Release : 1.el7.centos Size : 149 M Repo : installed From repo : /firefox-52.8.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64 [snip]
$ yum search firefox firefox.x86_64 : Mozilla Firefox Web browser
$ yum update firefox No packages marked for update
$ rpm -q firefox firefox-52.8.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64
$ rpm -e firefox
$ rpm -q firefox package firefox is not installed
$ yum install firefox No package firefox available.
Even: $ yum localinstall firefox-68.2.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm Examining firefox-68.2.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm: firefox-68.2.0-1.el7.centos.x86_64 Nothing to do
I still can install it using `rpm -i`, but I'm afraid yum-updates will not bring anything later.
What an I doing wrong?
Regards,
