It shows (it was done as a command line upgrade, on both of my computers that I have just upgraded) as an upgrade, rather than as a new package installation (which is what is shown, for kernel upgrades). The package is seamonkey-mozilla-build amd 64 2.53.7-0ubuntu1 so what I have upgraded, is specific to Ubuntu Linux (as is ubuntuzilla, I believe), and, I expect that it would not work with Fedora Linux (which is from (some years ago) Red Hat Linux), which, I believe, uses rpm packages, rather than deb packages. What I suggest, is that, for each operating system, the Seamonkey user does a google search for seamonkey <operating system name> upgrade and, hopefully, the results returned, will include a howto, that steps through the instructions for installing/upgrading seamonkey, for the particular operating system. I believe that that is how I found the Sourceforge ubuntuzilla repository, and, how to apply it, for installing and upgrading seamonkry on Ubuntu Linux. -- Bret Busby UbuntuMATE User and Campaigner Clean Energy User and Campaigner Human Rights Campaigner UBI and Citizens Dividend Campaigner Armadale West Australia (UTC+0800) .............. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
