Hi
You can get liboil from the freshrpms repo: http://heidelberg.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=689
I'm rather surprised to see a dependency on an external repo/package in fedora-extras.
file a bug report if that still exists. it shouldnt work that way
The problem appears to be different then that: ---> Package liboil.i386 0:0.3.0-1 set to be updated --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: liboil-0.2.so.0 for package: gstreamer-plugins --> Finished Dependency Resolution ------------------ /etc/cron.daily/yum.cron: Error: missing dep: liboil-0.2.so.0 for pkg gstreamer-plugins
If I read these logs correctly, the problem may not be directly related to fedora-extras at all. It might have just happened to occurred at the same time I was enabling fedora-extras by correcting the extension. It seems that the liboil package was updated to 0.3, despite the fact that gstreamer-plugins was still dependent on the liboil 0.2 version. Now it is complaining that liboil 0.2 isn't available. At least that is what I think I am reading.
Ah, that makes more sense. It seems that the version of gstreamer-plugins that you have installed was built against liboil-0.2.so.0, which you have already installed too (obviously). There is a later version of liboil in one of your repos but you can't install the update because there isn't an updated version of gstreamer-plugins built against liboil 0.3 available.
There are a variety of ways round this:
1. The repo containing gstreamer-plugins should rebuild it against liboil 0.3 (best way).
2. Remove gstreamer-plugins if you don't need it.
3. Remove gstreamer-plugins, update liboil to 0.3 and then rebuild and install gstreamer from the SRPM yourself.
There are probably other workarounds too.
