So what do I need to do to get these packages installed?
From my investigation yesterday, gecko-libs is a capability that is
supplied by xulrunner RPM. I was able to update earlier this afternoon.
firefox, epiphany, yelp, and xulrunner were what was holding me up.
(I don't have any of your other RPMs installed on my system.)
When I was able to update, cpio and system-config-language were also a
part of the update. Try again when these are available to you.
Thanks!
Dan

fwiw...I'm still unable to update and have been unable to update F9-i386
for 2 days now because of the missing gecko-libs dependency.

From that output, I'm inclined to suggest that gxone is still broken?
I do not have that package installed on my system....
Trying to install it tries to bring in a whole bunch of obsolete i386
stuff. Has a bug been filed against it yet?

That was my conclusion, as well. I was seeing the same issue "gecko-libs".
I removed gxine and the system updated.
I'll check, every so often, to see if a fixed gxine comes out...I suggest
he do the same.
It's odd...never before have I run a Fedora release that had so many
broken dependencies from update to update...and I've run all of them
except for F7.

I agree, there is definitely something wrong with their "process". They
don't seem to have learned lessons I learned 25 years ago....

See fedora-devel-list for the related topic (broken deps report from
yesterday). An update for gxine is waiting to be pushed. Compare with what
the Fedora Updates System shows about it (=> "pending" category).

Well I hope they are not fixing things one package at a time.* Yesterday I reported 3 packages that also fail with the gecko-libs dependency
gtkmozembedmm.i386
gnome-python2-gtkmozembed
gtkmozembedmm.x86_64
As of this morning all 3 still fail to install due to the gecko-libs = 1.9 problem.* There seems to have been a fundamental failure somewhere in the update "process".* Maybe the Fedora folks need to take a look at the whole package interdependency scheme so they can avoid this sort of mess in the future?* I've run been running Fedora since FC5 and I have never seen an update problem like this before.

Congratulations! ;o) This incident is just one of many. It has happened
before several times, with Firefox and with other packages. Firefox
affects almost everyone, though.
Interestingly, for Fedora 8 there was an attempt at rebuilding all
dependencies and publishing them at once, as a single update (see
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/search/firefox ), and that has
been done before. For F8, only one pkg slipped through (evolution-rss).
For F9, only a few packages were rebuilt actually (as can be seen at above
url, too).
It's a workflow problem, a communication problem, a resource problem, and
a policy problem.
The firefox maintainer can't be blamed if other packages cause trouble
because they create a strict dependency on a specific firefox
version. Semi-automated rebuilds of dependencies might help, if the spec
files were specially crafted to not require any manual editing at all (and
in the case of a dependency on firefox would pick up the new firefox
version automatically). Currently, however, a new package is not available
in the builtroots unless it's pushed to the stable repo or release
engineers add it on demand).

I wasn't griping - just noting that updates still weren't working for me
and yes, I recognized that I could remove gxine and get the updates
installed but am patient and will wait until it is all worked through.
