Also: # rpm -q gstreamer-plugins-ugly package gstreamer-plugins-ugly is not installed # yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly ... gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.11-1.el5.rf.i386 from rpmforge has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libdvdread.so.3 is needed by package gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.11-1.el5.rf.i386 (rpmforge) Error: Missing Dependency: libdvdread.so.3 is needed by package gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.11-1.el5.rf.i386 (rpmforge) ....
