Hi, the mantainer is in a trip to FOSDEM, he say that a rebuild will happens ASAP. The problem is that Chromium uses libvpx.0 and the recent updates need livpx.1. He mail a workaround. I dont know if it will work (or alot in the technical side), but here is:Interesting problem inststalling chromium in Fedora 16
I get an error: chromium-15.0.874.106-1.fc16.x86_64 requires libvpx.so.0()(64bit)
yum whatprovides reports: libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.i686 : VP8 Video Codec SDK
not the 64bit version.
I have Fedora 16 -x86_64 - Updates and Test Updates switched on in software sources.
All software is reoported up to date.
I downloaded libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.x86_64.rpm from http://rpmfind.net/ but on install I get:
Local Install failed-- Can't install libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.x86_64(1).rpm as no transaction.
I've run out of ideas, what does the error "no transaction" mean and how can it be fixed please?
thanks in advance
Roger

1) Download the old libvpx package:
wget
http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/libvpx/0.9.7.1/1.fc16/i686/libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.i686.rpm
2) Make a temporary directory:
mkdir sandbox
3) Change into the temporary directory:
cd sandbox
4) Use rpm2cpio to unpack the rpm:
rpm2cpio libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.i686.rpm | cpio -idv
5) As root, copy the old library files into the system library path:
su -c 'cp -a ./usr/lib/* /usr/lib/'
6) Regenerate the system library cache
su -c '/sbin/ldconfig'
7) Restore the selinux contexts on the libraries
su -c 'restorecon -v /usr/lib/libvpx.so.0*'
8) At this point, chromium should run again. RPM/yum will still complain
about the chromium package missing a dependency, but that will go away
when I build the new one.
I hope this works.
Cheers, Ruy
