[NTLUG:Discuss] Best way to upgrade Mozilla?

[Wayne Dahl]

I'm running an old version of Mozilla, 1.0.2, from RPM.  I'm trying to
upgrade it to 1.6, but there is no RPM for it.  It only comes as a
tar.gz file.  

I'm trying to remove the RPM before I attempt to unpack and install the
new version, but I'm getting these errors when I attempt rpm -e
mozilla-1.0.2-2.8.0

root at newcomputer Wayne-KDE]# rpm -e mozilla-1.0.2-2.8.0
error: Failed dependencies:

Since the attempt to remove it failed, what's the best way to get rid of
the old version before I install the new?  Also, a locate mozilla
returns a lot of stuff from mozilla 1.0.1 that isn't installed as an RPM
as rpm -q mozilla only returns

root at newcomputer Wayne-KDE]# rpm -q mozilla
mozilla-1.0.2-2.8.0

TIA,

Wayne
