There are updates available, for the below multimedia packages (CentOS 5.5, 32 bit), but I'm getting missing dependency errors from yum update for these.
<snip>
From the time the problem began, it had to do with
Error: Missing Dependency: libx264.so.68 is needed by package cinelerra-2.1-0.15.20070108.el5.rf.i386 (installed)
However, cinelerra was *never* one of the packages set to be updated. It always hung, on the Missing Dependency: libx264.so.68 for cinelerra
I am not using cinelerra at this time, so I removed it this morning:
cinelerra.i386 0:2.1-0.15.20070108.el5.rf
After that, I was able to yum update the box, with no issues.
There is probably a much more proper way to have gotten around this issue, but this box is fully updated again. Thanks to everyone who replied in this thread!

The problem may be that libx264 was set to be updated, but could not be because installed package cinelerra had an absolute dependency on an older version (rather than an "at least" dependency).

I seem to recall having to drop several packages that depended on a specific libx264 version a while ago, but I no longer remember which ones (lua related, possibly?).

Bart: Thank you for the explanation! That's probably what happened. Lanny
