Problem #1 is that PyQt4 is not split into subpackages for the different Qt modules being bound, so you end up with the Phonon and QtWebKit bindings installed, which drag in the rest. So far we have chickened out of splitting PyQt4, we'll need to look into this issue in the KDE SIG. Problem #2 is that you are getting phonon-backend-vlc instead of phonon- backend-gstreamer, which ends up dragging in a lot of dependencies. Try using --exclude=phonon-backend-vlc to force yum to pick -gstreamer instead. This is a result of phonon-backend-vlc being in RPM Fusion (and you having that enabled). It gets preferred by yum for some reason (shorter name? fewer direct dependencies? something else? I don't know which of the many criteria is being used here). I have always said that having phonon-backend-vlc in the repositories is a bad idea (because you end up with a different default backend depending on the repositories you have selected, leading to a support nightmare), but I wasn't listened to. (In fact, this even affects builds of KDE packages in RPM Fusion, where phonon-backend-vlc also gets dragged in, and thus the KDE packages cannot be rebuilt against a new FFmpeg before VLC is. That sucks.) Kevin Kofler -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
