Trying to update Firefox with MandrivaUpdate and it wants to remove
avidemux-2.1.0-0.1.20060plf.i586. But I don't want my avidemux to be
removed. How to solve this?

Rgs, Ari J?rm?l?

Use the command line ...
# urpmi mozilla-firefox --allow-nodeps --allow-force

I find mozilla products often have dependencies on specific
versions of other packages, such a yelp, but work fine with
newer versions, when you override the dependency checks.

Not good. After forcing firefox:

$ avidemux2 Ice\ age.avi
avidemux2: error while loading shared libraries:
libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Eh?

Try running ldconfig.
$ urpmf libmozjs.so
libmozilla-firefox1.5.0.6:/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-1.5.0.6/libmozjs.so
mozilla-thunderbird:/usr/lib/mozilla-thunderbird-1.5.0.5/libmozjs.so
nvu:/usr/lib/nvu-1.0/libmozjs.so
I'm running 2007 beta3, so you paths may be different.

You may need to symlink /usr/lib/libmozjs.so to the firefox version,
or add an entry to /etc/ld.so.conf.d, to include the firefox
directory in the list processed by ldconfig.

If you start to force installations with urpmi, you'll sooner or later
run into problems. So if you want to be on the safe side, simply don't
use the options mentioned in the previous post. It's (according to my
experience) much better to rebuilt the package yourself, preferably from
a srpm.
