The problem in this thread has been that the rpmfusion-*-release packages were installed already, but their file contents were damaged. Hence a "yum reinstall …" of those packages was not an option. It was necessary to repair the files. Erasing the installed packages and installing them again was one of many ways how to achieve that. For other package problems, one likely would not have gone the erase+install route. [...] Btw, "rpm" can access the network directly, too, so commands like rpm -ivh http://…/something.rpm do work. That is not suggested too often, however, since if installation fails (for various reasons), running the command again results in another download. -- Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle) - Linux 3.3.7-1.fc17.x86_64 loadavg: 0.39 0.56 0.37 -- 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 Have a question?
