That's probably irrelevant to this problem:<br>
<br>
"yum install mplayer" fails. Here's what happens:<br>
<br>
==================================================<br>
# yum install mplayer<br>

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem<br>
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems<br>
package-cleanup --dupes<br>
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest<br>
==================================================<br>
<br>
Yep, I did run"<br>
<br>
# package-cleanup --dupes<br>
Setting up yum<br>
giflib-4.1.3-7.1.el5.1.i386<br>
giflib-4.1.3-7.1.el5_3.1.i386<br>
# rpm -qa |grep giflib<br>
giflib-4.1.3-7.1.el5.1<br>
giflib-4.1.3-7.1.el5_3.1<br>
giflib-devel-4.1.3-7.1.el5_3.1<br>
<br>
so erased giflib-4.1.3-7.1.el5.1.i386, but still got the same from yum<br>
<br>
<br>
==================================================<br>
# package-cleanup --problems<br>
Setting up yum<br>
Reading local RPM database<br>
Processing all local requires<br>
No problems found<br>
==================================================<br>
<br>
Maybe removing the above dupes fixed it??? Nope, "yum install mplayer"<br>
still flipped me an error. So then tried:<br>
<br>
==================================================<br>
# yum install --skip-broken mplayer<br>

nas-1.9.1-2.el5.i386 from epel<br>
==================================================<br>
<br>
This looks like it might be the cause:<br>
<br>
# rpm -ql libmpcdec<br>
/usr/lib/libmpcdec.so.5<br>
/usr/lib/libmpcdec.so.5.0.2<br>
/usr/share/doc/libmpcdec-1.2.6<br>
... <snip> ...<br>
<br>
i.e., the dependency is already installed, but the installed version is<br>
higher than what's requested... or the dependency is misspecified<br>
(libmpcdec.so.3)...(?)<br>
<br>
and/or liblirc/liblirc_client and libaudio aren't available (at least in<br>
the repos my yum is set up for.<br>
<br>
<br>
What to do.. what to do??<br>
