Timo,

Thanks for replying.

I found that, ultimately, I had to remove xine* and its dependencies in
order to successfully "yum update".  After the update, I get dependency
errors again (with libdirect-1.0.so.0, libdirectfb-1.0.so.0, and
libfusion-1.0.so.0) when I try to add xine back in.  Are you running
xine on any of your systems?
