I used libmad in a generic way, and not as a specific package name. Take a look at this ( I saved it for this purpose): # yum check Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, presto, priorities, refresh-packagekit Adding en_US to language list gpac-libs-0.4.6-0.11.cvs20100527.fc14.i686 has missing requires of libmad.so.0 gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.17-13.fc14.i686 has missing requires of libmad.so.0 1:k3b-extras-freeworld-2.0.1-2.fc14.i686 has missing requires of libmad.so.0 4:mplayer-1.0-81_snap20110324.fc14.i686 has missing requires of libmad.so.0 normalize-0.7.7-5.fc11.i586 has missing requires of libmad.so.0 streamripper-1.64.6-1.fc11.i586 has missing requires of libmad.so.0 vlc-core-1.1.8-2.fc14.i686 has missing requires of libmad.so.0 xine-lib-1.1.19-22.1.fc14.i686 has missing requires of libmad.so.0 xmms2-mad-0.7-1.fc14.i686 has missing requires of libmad.so.0 Sure, it does not call for any specific package name, just a package that provides libmad.so.0 So, I had gone ahead and installed it directly from atrpms. However, after I installed libmad0 from atrpms, yum update still wanted to install libmad from rpmfusion!!! So, I edited the rpmfusion repo file and added to it the line exclude=libmad libmad-devel exclude=vcdimager vcdimager-devel vcdimager-libs libmad libmad-devel audacious-plugins-uade These are packages at rpmfusion that I DO NOT WANT FROM RPMFUSION. yum update no longer tries to bring in the conflict causing libmad from rpmfusion. Now all is well. I hope this clarifies it.
