If you are referring to the .fc7 designation, yes, I am quite aware of
that.

I forgot that you are inclined to bite the hand feeding you.

Good luck

    I wanted you to know that f7 rpm's are normal on f8. I am seeing
something odd.


[root@localhost ~]# yum install vlc
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Resolving Dependencies


The yum is not looking for a repo to get this mess. How can this be? I
have removed all livna repos but it does not even use them.

Sure but you don't bother to do what you were asked to do.

My speculation, you have vlc and packages from some other repository,
not livna. freshrpms? If you had listed the files, we probably could
figure it out.

enable freshrpms repository again and try to update

Craig
Hi Craig. I just suggested enabling the freshrpms repo again ( that's on Karls pulseaudio thread) and trying an install of VLC, especially as x264 on my F8 with freshrpms enabled is showing as being maintained by Matthias Saou (freshrpms), and VLC is working fine.

The problem is that 3rd party repo's don't work well together. The intention of the repo maintainers is that there should be consistency of the package versions available, but this doesn't seem to work out in reality, resulting in conflicts.

Karls obviously experiencing this. I thought he'd got his VLC from Livna, but maybe not due to the problems he's having.

feel free to step in.

he has yet to do what I asked him to do so it's clear that I'm not going
to be of much use.

Craig

   Excuse me Craig, what did you ask me to do? I will do it asap!

Karl
