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, -- wwp https://useplaintext.email/
