Yum dependency question

[J. K. Cliburn]

I think I know the answer to this question, but I'd like confirmation...

Today, when I tried to do a yum update, I got the following response.

Resolving Dependencies
--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.

What this tells me is that xine-lib and mplayer want me to leave version 
0.9.22 of libdirectfb and friends installed, right?

In your experience, how likely is it that xine and mplayer will break if 
I force the update to firectfb 0.9.24?

Would a reasonable approach be to remove xine and mplayer, apply the 
update to directfb, then reinstall xine and mplayer, banking on the 
chance they'll work with directfb 0.9.22 *or higher*?

Thanks,
Jay
