A recent update asked to remove firefox (55.0.1-1.fc26), and when I followed with an
install
I ended with the old version 54.0-2.fc26 installed.
Attempting to upgrade to the latest goes nowhere (see below).
I found a redhat bugzilla regarding an unwise decision to force an unnecessary dependency
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1484345
mentioning there is a new package (firefox-55.0.2-3), but it is not showing up.
Anyone knows what is going on with this?
Firefox is the most 'net facing application here and I need to have the latest version
installed.
TIA
