To wit: > > # rpm -q libmad0 > libmad0-0.15.1b-4.fc14.i686 > # rpm -e libmad0-0.15.1b-4.fc14.i686 Not what I've asked you to do: "rpm -e libmad" What you tried to do is to erase a package that contains a needed shared library. That won't work, of course. > I did not manually and explicitly install libmad0. No, but libmad. > Yum resolved the dependencies of the packages you see above. Then please show the results of repoquery --exactdeps --whatrequires libmad NOT libmad0 (!) and return to what I've written above. The theory is that if you have just libmad0 and not libmad, you don't have get a conflict. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
