Hi, I know that the extra packages don't come with the FC5 DVD. so when I choose upgrade option at inistall time, how do the dependency get resolved for the packages i had from FC4-extra? did it break them ?
It probably left the programs depending on libs that are no longer on your system and were replaced upward in versions. Doing a yum update afterwards *should* bring the packages back to functionality.
The maintainers/developers for Fedora-Extras tracked the development up to FC5 pretty much. They did an excellent job for packages that I use from the repository.
