Brilliant! I have been looking for this guide for a while. I kept getting messages in my Thunderbird app saying that the version I was running would be discontinued after April 29th and I would not be able to get my mail. I kept being sent back to downloading the .tar.bz2 update but there were no instructions on how to install it. I was successful installing the update following this guide under Fedora 14/Amahi. Thank you very much!

Thanks. I always get a little iritated when something this easy (an update) is so complicated. But then again, I always find someone like yourself who has taken the time to help others and make it easy. It is greatly appreciated….

Hi!

I have fedora 14 and when I run
rpm -Uvh http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-14.rpm
I get this error:
error: Failed dependencies: epel-release >= 6 is needed by remi-release-6-1.el6.remi.noarch

Then download epel-release from http://ftp.cica.es/epel/6/i386/repoview/epel-release.html and I get this other error:
error: Failed dependencies: fedora-release conflicts with epel-release-6-7.noarch

Can you help?

Thanks :)
