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?
Try 'yum clean all' and then try again - any good?
If not, what about:
yum --disableexcludes=all install firefox
I'm guessing it's still excluded somewhere even though you think you've
removed the exclude.
