Using update-minimal installs firefox-3.0.6-1.el5.i386.rpm, why does it not install xulrunner-1.9.0.6-1.el5.i386.rpm as well? It is provided by the advisory. If I install firefox 3.0.1 I am able to use `yum update-minimal --advisory=RHSA-2009:0256-06` and it installs the proper versions of both Firefox and xulrunner:
Package Arch Version Repository Size
=============================================================================================================================
Updating:
firefox i386 3.0.6-1.el5 rhel-i386-server-5 12 M
nss i386 3.12.2.0-4.el5 rhel-i386-server-5 1.1 M
nss-tools i386 3.12.2.0-4.el5 rhel-i386-server-5 1.2 M
xulrunner i386 1.9.0.6-1.el5 rhel-i386-server-5 9.9 M
So obviously yum does know about the version of xulrunner it needs, it just disregards it when it is installing and not upgrading.

And if the requirements said EQ then it would have done that - but the assumption yum (and others) use is that newer is better, provided all the deps are met.

I think I understand the heart of the issue though.
Here is the requirements section from Firefox 3.0.6:
<rpm:entry name="xulrunner" flags="GE" epoch="0" ver="1.9.0.6" rel="1"/>
Because it is GE and not EQ yum determines the requirement and says, I can provide xulrunner 1.9.0.7 because it is the
latest and it meets the requirement of >= 1.9.0.6. Although it should probably be an EQ because the Firefox 3.0.6 with
xulrunner 1.9.0.7 does not work, this appears to fall on Red Hat. However, I do think update-minimal should realize that
the advisory I'm trying to install looks for a specific version of xulrunner (1.9.0.6 in this case) and check to see if
that version meets the requirement (which it does) and to see if that package is available in the repository (which it
is) and install that version, not the latest.
Please report the requirement problem as a bug to rhel.
