In my case, the problem seems to be that yum wants to install libmad from rpmfusion, when I already have libmad from atrpms. Several media apps I get from atrpms need the libmad version from atrpms. So, I found a way to tell yum to avoid libmad from rpmfusion. -- 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
