Hello, All: I’ve just inherited a SLED11-SP1 system and I’m attempting to update the one of the installed packages - MozillaFirefox. However, I’m afraid that I’m not understanding zypper properly: [CODE]genesco1:~ # zypper search Firefox Refreshing service ‘nu\_novell\_com’.

Resolving package dependencies… Nothing to do.[/CODE] The user wants Mozilla Firefox upgraded from Version 10.0.6 to Version 31.3.0 but Zypper seems to be telling me that there is not an upgrade available. Am I understanding that correctly? ---

Try: ```auto sudo zypper lp #short for list-patches ``` With that said, while the current versions of SLED likely have a more-current version of Firefox, SLED 11 SP1 is really, really old, so I would not guess that it will have much newer. Still, who knows. Something like the following may patch just Firefox: ```auto sudo zypper patch MozillaFirefox ``` – Good luck.

Using the “-s” parameter when searching will list the versions installed and available. It may also be that your system is no longer registered with SUSE so check that too. ## HTH.

Thank you, both: The SLED11-SP1 system is used to troubleshoot customer experience problems and, as the customer currently uses Mozilla Firefox 31.3.0 on SLED11-SP1 in their environment, we would like to configure the system to use Mozilla Firefox 31.3.0 on SLED11-SP1 in our environment. Zypper displays quite a lot of information about updates and patches but none of them seems to be Version 31.3.0: [CODE]genesco1:~ # zypper search -s Firefox Refreshing service ‘nu\_novell\_com’.

The latest I see for 11 SP1 is Firefox 10: [https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=is2Uenkkb-I~](https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=is2Uenkkb-I~) The latest on SLED 11 SP4 appear to be Firefox 38: [https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=7iUXJE0Fldk~](https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=7iUXJE0Fldk~) Also available from last year’s patches on SLED 11 SP4 is Firefox 31: [https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=evKWUeOI2d0~](https://download.suse.com/Download?buildid=evKWUeOI2d0~) You could always try to apply those packages directly to your older system, but you really should patch to get a lot of other security fixes too. – Good luck.

Probably not unless you back-rev Firefox manually, or do an upgrade locking the Firefox package. – Good luck. If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, show your appreciation and click on the star below… ---

Keep in mind that even with a locked package, other system changes may break the software managed by the package (Mozilla FireFox in your case) after prompting you to resolve the conflict somehow. – Good luck.

Upgrading to SLED11 SP2 with updates will give you Firefox ESR 17 but updates for both SLED11 SP3 and SLED11 SP4 would get you Firefox ESR 38 that you don’t want. I’d therefore suggest upgrading to SLED11 SP2 but before upgrading to SLED11 SP3 and SLED11 SP4 you lock the MozillaFirefox package. You’d then need to install the latest Firefox ESR 31 update for SLED11 SP3 before then upgrading to SLED11 SP4. ## HTH.

So far I haven’t found any zypper tutorials that illustrate how to upgrade to a SP-level; how to lock packages, or; how to apply patches. ☹ Can you point me in the direction of a good tutorial?
