Can someone tell me what´s going wrong ? As explained in the Update Notes, the Generic Plugin API Version has changed since Audacious 2.4.2, and all plugins need a rebuild. Or else they are not loaded. Plugin packages not provided by Fedora can only be rebuilt once the Audacious update is available in the stable updates repository. On top of that, there hasn't been a strong dependency between the 3rd party plugin packages and the base player, which would reflect their specific Plugin API requirements. The plugin packages could have required a specific version of Audacious though, even if that would be too strict since some minor releases of Audacious *are* compatible. Future updates of Audacious (currently only in Fedora 15 development, however) will be able to add a hard dependency on a specific audacious(plugin-api) package capability. That will make it possible for 3rd party plugin packages to block an incompatible update of Audacious in Fedora by creating a broken dependency temporarily. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
