OK....
As noted in an earlier message, I managed to recreate what I believe
is Karl's original problem. In doing so I've rediscovered what others
are probably fully aware of, but I am not for the simple reason that I
don't use either the freshrpms or livna repos...
Simply put, (feel free to respond with "I told you so") both repos
contain vlc, x264 and other packages. These repos are mutually
exclusive. Unless you are interested in inflicting pain on yourself
do not, at any time, enable both. And never, ever....unless you know
what you are doing use more than one of these on your installed
system. Pick one...and stay with it.
So, Karl, unless you really know what you've done (as in kept detailed
notes) you may best be served by starting over again and picking ONE
of these repos and using it and only it. As you've stated, you're not
smart enough to deal with the complexities that are introduced by
using multiple 3rd party repos.
Ed I have got past that. In fact I plan to try Tim's idea just to
get a feel from part by part work. I thought the interplay between the
two repos was the problem. It is not the problem.
