Good Evening.
I believe what Dag is saying is that, if you wish to use audacity, you cannot update wxGTK. Conversely, if you update wxGTK, you cannot use audacity. I'm sure he will eventually resolve the issue.
In the meantime, how are we supposed to go about to install AMule, VLC and Audacity on a *new* install? No problem to write an 'exclude=' line in /etc/yum.conf on existing systems so updates get currently ignored. IMHO these things should have been put to some testing repo first. I prefer having slightly outdated software rather than mutually excluding updates :o/
Because this is not really a CentOS issue, I think it is best to take it to the rpmforge packagers' mailing list. For example, Fabian recently discussed wxGTK here:
http://lists.rpmforge.net/pipermail/packagers/2008-September/000709.html
Are there any updates on that? yum still complains about missing dependencies on an installation with aMule and wxGTK.
So what's the proper workaround here? As far as I'm concerned, Dag has broken the update system on our Centos boxes. Is there any other way to allow my system to be updated than to disable using Dag's repo?
(not including removing Audacity--which I don't use a LOT, but I do use it.)
