Silly thought: if you *have* that package installed, and want to upgrade
 it... what repo does rpm -qi internet-browser tell you it's from.

See my previous reply -- it DOES not show up in an rpm query. I am not using konqueror. I will try to track this down further. It MUST be an alias that's set up in gnome.

 I don't suppose there's any chance that it could be the konqueror
 browswer?

Surely this isn't anything complicated?

# yum groupinfo internet-browser
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security, versionlock
Setting up Group Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

Group: Internet Browser
 Description: Firefox web browser
 Default Packages:
   firefox
   nspluginwrapper
   totem-mozplugin

jh

HA! I did do "yum info internet-browser" but did not use the groupinfo option.
So thanks. Mystery solved!
