Shortly after installing, I got a pop-up
notice that security updates wre available.
On doing yum update, I got error messages:

  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I did a rollback, but that did not seem to help until I did a yum clean all.
Now yum update tell me that there is nothing to do.
Given that I did a yum update before install audacity,
that would seem to be the right answer.
My packages seem to be ok now.

Time for a late breakfast.
