I was performing a yum update in FC5 when the system froze.  On reboot,
I executed yum update again and it updated a partial list of the

packages in the original list, but not the second list was firefox,
updating to 1.5.0.6. After the update, my firefox is still at 1.5.0.4. I have tried several things to get it to update, all unsuccessfully,
including yum clean all followed by another update attempt, and
downloading the package and using rpm.  That fails due to dependencies
which apparently were also in the interrupted update.

Is there some way to clear this up so the failed updates will proceed?

Thanks.

Couple of things you can do... all as root

1. yum clean all

2. rpm -q firefox
3. if this gives you more than 1 result then do this
[root@gstpc-fc4 openvpn]# yum clean all
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Cleaning up Everything
0 headers removed
0 packages removed
15 metadata files removed
0 cache files removed
5 cache files removed
[root@gstpc-fc4 openvpn]# rpm -q firefox
firefox-1.5.0.4-1.2.fc5

A subsequent yum install firefox updated it.
[root@gstpc-fc4 ~]# rpm -q firefox
firefox-1.5.0.6-2.fc5

Thanks for your replies, Jesse and Kevin.
