ok...

How about wxGTK.
rpmforge is distributing 2.6.3 while epel is distributing 2.8.?
rpmforge's vlc uses wxGTK or there are interlinked dependencies...

So when I "yum -y update", the update fails. Currently there are no pending updates so this is not a big deal... until there are pending updates.

As an end user, I just want to be able to update my system.

If to accomplish that, I have to disable epel and only use it when I'm looking for something, then that's what I'll have to do.

I do that now with the ATRPms repo. It can conflict with rpmforge a lot, but the two were not meant to be used together. One works for more backward compatibility, while the other works for addons that might change the function of the system. CentOS's own "plus" repo does the same. It isn't good or bad in itself, you just need to make choices on what you want to accomplish.
