Thanks.  I think that makes it clear - it seems that if I see this sort
of problem again I have to look at repositories that are not normally
enabled, and consider whether to temporarily enable them.  Is it safe to
leave rpmfusion-free-updates.repo and rpmfusion-nonree-updates.repo
without a specific priority setting?  The various testing repos are not
enabled.
