The yum check-update for packages doesn't even show mplayer is to be updated. That library is in /us/bin on my system and when I run the mplayer that I have that's allready installed it runs fine. A ldd on mplayer shows it is referring to the correct /usr/bin/libx264.so.254.so.54. > > Why is yum failing to do the daily yum update? > > > This is because you are going to update libx264.so.54 with newer > version, but mplayer requiers exactly this(not newer). > Try with > yum -x libx264.so.54 update > > Regards! :) The option -x is not recogized by yum however if I run sudo yum --exclude 264 update it works and the packages are updated. Thanks for pointing that out to me. -- Richard Miles Federal Way WA. USA registered linux user 46097
