Thanks.
This *is* the trouble. I am including ATrpms repo at
http://dl.atrpms.net/fc5-i386/atrpms/stable, in order to satisfy some
requirements that appear when I use my usual set of repos, namely:
core, extras, updates, gst, and livna.
When I try to install using these repos, I get the following errors:
Transaction Check Error:
package libmad-0.15.1b-2 (which is newer than libmad-0.15.1-2.b.lvn5)
is already installed
package libdv-0.104-4.gst.1.5 (which is newer than libdv-0.104-3.fc5)
is already installed
package libtheora-1.0alpha6-2.gst.5 (which is newer than libtheora-1.0alpha5-1.2.1)
is already installed
These packages are all in the ATrpms repo, which unfortunately also includes
mplayer-1.0-53_pre8.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm
which (I suppose) yum is insisting on loading, despite the fact that
mencoder and mplayer-gui both want the older version.
So ... Do you know how to force yum or yumex to not load the ATrpms
version of mplayer, while at the same time loading everything else from
this repo? I have already tried adding:
mplayer-1.0-53_pre8.rhfc5.at.i386.rpm
mplayer-1.0-53_pre8.rhfc5.at.x86_64.rpm
to the excludes list in yumex preferences with no result.
Or alternately, is there a way to get yum to ignore the "which is newer"
errors?
Thanks again - jon
