It does not matter what you use for the update (rpm, > yum, PK). This is not PackageKit's fault. In general, any software can break when a running copy has its files swapped out from under it. XULRunner-based apps exacerbate this flaw in the package system because they use versioned directories. But it's not Firefox's fault either. Think about icons, glade files, etc. that might be included in software. It's something that really needs to be fixed in yum/rpm. Windows has a notion of "update this file after reboot", which might be the way to go. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
