Since mozilla will remain at the same version as it is from FC5,
You mean as "the real thing" or as "provides"? semonkey packages
from RHEL provide a non-existent "mozilla = 37:1.8", just to make
sure that updates will happen, and I followed exactly the same model
when doing my own packages for FC5.
How are current FC5 to FC6Test versions handling the mozilla
orphaning?
Apparently "by neglect". :-) There in now no mozilla in FC6Test so
supposedly there is no problem; only some trip on it.
Are the upgrade attempts removing mozilla, disregarding the possible
conflicts mozilla being stale could cause, or are they removing mozilla
from upgraded systems?
A distribution upgrade installs disregarding possible conflicts so
this is not an issue. You may need to remove later some leftover
packages.
FC5 is of course alright, nothing
conflicts with mozilla as of today. :-)
With this exception that there are security issues with mozilla
and you cannot remove it from FC5, leaving only an updated firefox
for a browser, without removing other packages as well - like
'yelp', for example.
