| 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?

Not on my workstation here in the office, but I /think/ in the same
CentOS 5.4/amd64 setup at home. Can't verify it at the moment, though,
as the machine at home is turned off...
