[Galeon-devel] Serious dependency problem

[Ron C. <ro...@3d...>]

It's a real problem that the Galeon RPMs depend on a specific version of 
Mozilla (for example, version 1.0 of Mozilla).
You're basically pre-screwing RedHat Linux users.  Here's why.
Suppose I'm a RedHat Linux user and I want to keep abreast of the latest 
changes to Mozilla.  This is not uncommon, as most people who use (or 
work on) Mozilla are Linux users.  So, I hop over to ftp.mozilla.org and 
download and install the latest Mozilla RPMs.  Only I can't because rpm 
complains that galeon needs the EXACT version of Mozilla that came with 
it.  My only option is to rip out galeon (rpm -e galeon).  However, when 
I do that, I can no longer view the help in nautilus.  I get the 
following error:
    The Web Page view encountered
    an error while starting up.
Also, since galeon does translations of man pages, etc., into HTML, I 
would really rather have it installed.  But I can't, thanks to its 
unnecessarily strict requirement that I never upgrade to a later version 
of Mozilla.
Can you please release a galeon RPM that will let me use any version of 
Mozilla >-= 1.0, and never make it dependent on a particular version of 
Mozilla again, please?
Thanks!
