I belive that the crux of the problem is this: The naming of the x264 package from Fedora makes yum think that it's newer than the x264 package from Livna. Until either Livna updates the name of their package to indicate that it's newer than Fedora's, or Fedora provides an x264 package that includes libx264.so.56 (instead of libx264.so.54), I've found that the easiest way to work around this issue is to use this yum command: yup update --exclude x264 Voila!!! Yum updates the system, but ignores the x264 package. -- Mike Burger http://www.bubbanfriends.org Visit the Dog Pound II BBS telnet://dogpound2.citadel.org or http://dogpound2.citadel.org To be notified of updates to the web site, visit: https://www.bubbanfriends.org/mailman/listinfo/site-update or send a blank email message to: site-update-subscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
