At least I know I never removed it and this was a base FC4 install. I tried creating a fedora-extras.repo based on: [extras] name=Fedora Extras - $releasever - $basearch baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM- GPG-KEY-Fedora-Extras When I try to install vlc I still get similar results: yum install vlc Setting up Install Process Setting up repositories atrpms 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 livna 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 updates 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 release 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 freshrpms 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 1.0 MB 00:04 extras : ################################################## 2991/2991 Added 23 new packages, deleted 13 old in 4.78 seconds Parsing package install arguments Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

Why does the vlc package require so many more dependencies than videolan-client? Thanks, James
