OK - I wanted to show that so you can see that there are packages
I want (from rpmfusion and from atrpms). Some of these packages
have no F14 release version yet, so F13 pkgs are still included in
the F14 repos.

Reason why I show this is because when I ran yum update, I got:
.

So, how can we install what we would like to run, when some packages
depend on an older version of package A from Repository X,
and some packages depend on a newer version of A from Repository Y?
What's more is that the packages we want are not all available
from the same repo.

I think this problem needs to be addressed by the Fedora rpm packagers,
or at least, a good amount of coordination is needed amongst all
the fedora rpm repo creators.
