xmms2 fails to update

[Temlakos]

Everyone:

When trying to update the xmms2 package, I'm getting this error from the 
dnfdragora application:
> Transaction check error: file /usr/lib64/xmms2/libxmms_mad.so from 
> install of xmms2-0.8-60.fc29.x86_64 conflicts with file from package 
> xmms2-mad-0.8-24.fc29.x86_64 Error Summary -------------

Comments? Suggested resolutions?

xmms2 is a fedora package
xmms2-mad is an rpmfusion package

Wait until rpmfusion has caught up with fedora.

Since all the mpeg patents have now expired, it might be that the
rpmfusion package is obsolete, and is being replaced with the fedora
package.  I don't know that, I'm just guessing, but mad is an mp3
library, and since mp3 is now off patent, there is no reason it can't
be included in Fedora.

No, Fedora should have covered this with an "Obsoletes" tag, so "xmms2"
replaces "xmms2-mad", since it contains the "mad" based plugin now.
It is a packaging mistake not to do that.

Yes, thanks for the correction.

So what do I do know? Remove xmms2-mad and then allow the update? Or 
wait for Fedora to correct the packaging mistake?

PS: I sent another message earlier--or thought I did--asking whether I 
should remove xmms2-mad and then update xmms2. I have reason to believe 
this community never got it--because the Great Google Crash of 2 June 
2019 intercepted it just as I was trying to send it.

Yes, if you want the update now.

I just did. When I removed xmms2-mad, the system removed xmms2 as well. 
So I installed xmms2 version 60 for my architecture (which is x86_64). I 
find I can play my mp3 files as before.

Now when I tried to install other xmms2-related files, the system simply 
didn't install them--especially if they came from RPMfusion. Why not? 
May I assume that the Fedora System xmms2 package now has everything I 
need to play just about any sound file I download?

This is Open Source Software. Even if you don't want to examine the
Source RPM package contents, you can query the changelog of the binary
packages. Especially if the packages are installed on your computer.
Example: rpm -q --changelog xmms2|less
