e.g. Someone sets up Livna, to install mplayer. Then they want to

vlc, and all hell breaks loose.
Let's use a specific example.
They initially set up livna to watch DVD's. Then they get a nice ivtv-based
MPEG enocder card, and decide to set up MythTV. ATrpms is 'THE' place to get
MythTV for Fedora. So they set up ATrpms.
Now they install vlc.
In which case they should look into yum priorities. The following page
is for Centos, but explains the principle.

Last time I was running Fedora I used this to do exactly what you
described, and it worked pretty well.
