Never mind, now I don't get these devhelp and firefox update nasties.
It seemed that there were updates for 32- and 64-bit devhelp but
only 32-bit firefox update. In another thread on this or fedora-devel list
I read that the maintainer revkoed the firefox and devhelp updates
until all things get rebuilt. And yes, it's a clean install of Fedora 8.
