Got it, Joe, fixed.  Next on the list, gnome_update is complainig about a
fairly length list of items that are "stale dependencies".  I haven't got
even the vaguest idea what to do here: keepthem get rid of them, or
(assuming I even knew what to do), HOW to do it.  Complete and total blank
here.  Help!  I don't even have a vague idea of where to go looking for
help, and temporarily, the gnome upgrade script has for some reason
tromped on my mozilla , so I can't even google it.

That's irritating, 'cause I know my mozilla-devel is just dandy.  I want
to get the gnome upgrade humming again!
