Here's an example of the detailed errors I'm getting:

Error running transaction: package gstreamer1-libav-1.4.3-1.fc21.x86_64

package gstreamer1-libav-1.4.3-1.fc21.x86_64 has unsatisfied Requires:
libc.so.6()(64bit)
That makes no sense. That library is _The_ Standard C Library (from "glibc"),
which basically is a requirement for almost everything on your system.

   $ rpm --test --erase glibc 2>&1|wc -l
   11887

Not so with libbz2 from package bzip2-libs, but it's needed by RPM itself
and hence becomes very important. You won't be able to remove it without
removing "rpm".

Comments?
Hardly possible beyond what I've written above.

You rip things out of context. Truncated output from Yum isn't good. One
cannot see if anything tries to replace/remove/upgrade library packages in
an incompatible way, for example. The errors you see refer to libs that
are essential for Fedora 21.

Which puts this error in the category of "Impossible, but it's happening."

Or it was.

What I shared with everyone, was the full output of the details from a dialog box after a failed attempt to use the tools that Dragon called, to install packages having the necessary codecs.

But I might have solved the problem.

First, I did this after rebooting. I had to reboot for another reason: the updater couldn't seem to find an old kernel that needed removal to keep the number of kernel packages to three or fewer.

Second, the system ran an update cycle.

So I just brought up Apper and installed a large number of gstreamer and gstreamer1 packages. They included every package that Dragon mentioned as being necessary. If it wasn't already installed, I installed it. That included "crystalhd", "bad", "bad-free", "bad-free-extras," and "ugly." Also the two "libnice" packages.

Once I had done all these things, my videos, including MP4 and FLV and MOV and AVI videos, would play in Dragon.

Dragon used to find missing packages by itself. Something went wrong in this upgrade, and Dragon could not function entirely up to par. But I seem to have my system (actually systems, since I have a desktop and a laptop) back in good repair.
