A day or so back i hit a web site that needed mplayer, which went thru
the motions of downloading the file, but when it tried to play it,
stopped immediately, several times.
Today I thought I'd see if yumex could help and told it to install a
few more skins and other mplayer accessories.
It starts process the queue, and fails because it can't find mplayer,
but if I goto the removal screen, mplayer shows as installed and I
can't uninstall it because of all the other dependencies.
rpm says this version is installed:
[root@diablo ~]# rpm -q mplayer
mplayer-1.0pre8-0.6.20060406
but yumex reports this
Missing Dependency: mplayer = 1.0-0.39.20060412.lvn5 is needed by
package mplayer-gui
So obviously thats a livna item, but its not shown as being available.
Which magic twanger do I need folks?
Not much help, but I found the same problem. Nothing changed in
mplayer lately, so it might be the new firefox? I think I didn't see
the problem before that one. Keep an eye out for a new mplayerplug-in,
maybe in sourceforge.
