I'm plumb out of patience with its I can't play this messages that
do not tell you what it can't play.
Try enabling the livna repository and installing vlc. It will play
about anything you throw at it.

My current theory is that while rpm thinks there is a java installed,
all the /usr/lib/java* subdirs are empty.
So I truck meself off the the Sun site and dl
jdk-1_5_0_10-linux.rpm.bin, the very latest, shinyest version there.
But would you believe it was packed with rpm-4.0.4? And it gives the
current 4.4.2, a segfault tummy ache. Repeatedly.
So now I'm back to get the other package to see what falls out of the
regular linux.bin file.
Ok, that unpacked, now where can I find a .spec file so that I can
pack it with the newer rpm & then install it? Or is that not the
correct procedure now?
http://jpackage.org.
Ok, got the jpackage.repo, but yumex is having a litter of kittens:
[...]
So there is no FC5 or FC6 mirrors.
Next?
I'd just download the one RPM from the Web site. I don't think there are
any dependencies to worry about and you are rebuilding the binary RPM
anyway.
There are some jpackage derivatives in FC, so last I read (in FC5), adding
jpackage as a repo and running updates was "considered harmful" unless you
wanted to go all jpackage for those RPMs.
