So...I'm trying to get my system up to current rawhide so that I'm in a

In other words, it just silently fails. If I go into the package cache
and install packages by hand, I eventually run into something like this:
1. This is a known bug
2. The utf8 conversion is FAILING to convert the rpm output :(
3. you're running out of disk space - probably on / or /boot.
# rpm -ivh lame-libs-3.98.2-2.fc10.x86_64.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
file /usr/lib64/libmp3lame.so.0.0.0 from install of lame-libs-3.98.2-2.fc10.x86_64 conflicts with file from package libmp3lame0-3.97-16.fc8_93.x86_64
So my *real* problem is that the switch to rpmfusion isn't playing well
with older packages from other repositories of ill repute. Outside
repositories and rawhide have always been a fun combination, but I
can't really blame anybody but myself for attempting to do that. I know
how to clean up this kind of mess.
But it *would* be nice if yum would *tell* me why things are failing...
It'd be even nicer if python unicode handling didn't murder kittens. :)
We're working on this one.
Thanks,
