some rpmforge packages may even conflict with the base distro. What do you need in rpmforge that isn't available from base, rpmfusion, or epel? The only thing I know of are some kmod packages from elrepo, and I have the elrepo.repo configuration so that either it's not enabled by default, or I only get specific packages for a specific machine from it (like an old NVIDIA card).

All the packages turned out to be vlc and dependencies. I hadn't realized that I hadn't installed rpmfusion. rpmforge is gone now and I have vlc back. All is well with that part of the world.
