I have a fresh install of 5.4 x86_64 from a dvd .iso. All has worked well for several days, including kvm and WinXP running in a vm. Decided it was time to get the multimedia stuff up and running so I could listen to music CDs and watch DVD movies while working. I followed the guidance on the "Tips and Tricks" page for multimedia. Had no problem with the "priorities" or the rpmforge installs. Here is where it went south: [root at desk Desktop]# yum install libdvdcss libdvdread libdvdplay libdvdnav lsdvd mplayerplug-in mplayer mplayer-gui compat-libstdc++-33 flash-plugin gstreamer-plugins-bad gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-ffmpeg libquicktime Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: yum.singlehop.com * base: mirror.fdcservers.net * extras: mirrors.liquidweb.com * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net * updates: centos.mirror.nac.net 440 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Install Process ... --> Finished Dependency Resolution gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.8-3.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libfaad.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.8-3.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) libquicktime-1.1.3-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libfaad.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package libquicktime-1.1.3-1.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) Error: Missing Dependency: libfaad.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package libquicktime-1.1.3-1.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) Error: Missing Dependency: libfaad.so.0()(64bit) is needed by package gstreamer-plugins-bad-0.10.8-3.el5.rf.x86_64 (rpmforge) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package. [root at desk Desktop]# First question: Is the guidance for multimedia accurate for an 5.4 x86_64 load? Second question: is rpmforge fully ready for 5.4? Dave
