From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686)
BuildID:    .9.3-1

Cannot install against Helix Gnome

root@localhost sean]# rpm -i mozilla-0.9.3-1.i386.rpm
file /usr/lib/libnspr4.so from install of mozilla-0.9.3-1 conflicts with file
from package libnspr4-4.1-ximian.3
file /usr/lib/libplc4.so from install of mozilla-0.9.3-1 conflicts with file
from package libnspr4-4.1-ximian.3
file /usr/lib/libplds4.so from install of mozilla-0.9.3-1 conflicts with file
from package libnspr4-4.1-ximian.3

Safe to ignore these?  Will this break components of Helix?

Please respond to [e-mail]

[R.K.Aa.]

this is not a mozilla bug, not a blocker, and probably not even about
incompatible libraries.

Ximian distribute mozilla files. The msg you get from rpm simply points out that
the files exist from before, from when you installed other packages containing
those files.

If you want to treat your rpm database nice, you uninstall the ximian version
before installing mozilla.

Resolving as invalid, adding blizzard to CC for verification.

Yeah, not much I can do about that.

Comment 3

[harley]

So, back to the question which is, is it safe to install the 9.3.x releases with
these incompatibilities?

I don't want to break anything.  This machine is a critical machinee for me at
work.

So, will I break anything if I install this?

Sean here again,
What I am really asking is this, if I remove the offending Ximian files, install
Mozilla with what appear to me to be older versions of those same files, will
that break anything in my Ximian install?

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

I have no idea what's going to happen if you try and install over the ximian
install.

Comment 6

[harley]

Not much help then eh?

Anyone else got a clue?  Somebody must have installed this on a Ximian Gnome
desktop.
