hey,

I did notice that. I wasn't sure why a package from rpmfusion would
conflict with one from fedora repos. (It's in rpmfusion for a reason)
Is it being obsoleted by a fedora package (license been cleared or
something)? 

What I'm saying is that this conflict makes users uninstall manually to
proceed with the update. I use yum and know a little bit about this
stuff. What about normal users who wouldn't understand why an update
using a GUI is breaking?

Isn't there a better way to handle whatever transition is taking place
here?
