I saw the latest update announcements on the announce list, so I ran "yum check-update" and did not see seamonkey in the list. Which I guess makes sense, since it's a name change from mozilla. However, devhelp is in the list, and "yum update devhelp" pulls in seamonkey as a dependency.
This seems like a sort of backdoor way to get seamonkey onto the system. Did these packages really come from the upstream this way? What if I had not had devhelp installed? Do I need to replace mozilla or not?
Seamonkey is the new mozilla, which both obsoletes the old mozilla packages, and provides mozilla = 37:1.8. The updated devhelp does indeed require this version of mozilla, and shipped with the requirement from upstream.
