Hi gang!

I'm trying to update my videolan client (0.8.4a-4.el4.rf) to the latest 0.8.6 version. I see that Dag has a 0.8.6 for EL4 (I'm running Centos 4.4) but when I do "yum update videolan-client" it says there's nothing to update.

I can't figure out why it's not installing the 0.8.6 version that is clearly visible at Dag's repository at this page:

    http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/vlc/

where we see, among other things:

    vlc-0.8.6b-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm

Anybody got a clue?

Just tried from a C5 x86_64 box and it found the latest 0.8.6b-1.el5.rf. Don't know what is the cause of your problem. It might be that a yum index file may not be complete? You might want to try yum clean all and see what happens.

When I remove the videolan client than do "yum install videolan-client" it insists on trying to install the 0.8.4 version:

I suppose it does not show up in the server. Perhaps it is appearing as vlc, or you should switch to rpmforge.

I installed these from rpmforge:

[john@localhost download]$ rpm -qa |grep vlc vlc-0.8.6b-1.el5.rf vlc-devel-0.8.6b-1.el5.rf

[john@localhost download]$

the 0.8.4a-4.el4.rf videolan-client package at: http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/videolan-client/

is called exactly that, "videolan-client".

Yes, that package is called "vlc". "yum install vlc" :-)
