yum install pkgconfig - error concerning macromedia ?

[crowds]

I have been trying to install a few thing on Fedora core 5 (in order to get an interface for my Zen Micro) and it keeps saying it needs pkg-config. on a search I found that it can be installed via yum. So I try to install it and I get

!!! ?? Why is it asking to get a file from macromedia ? This is odd. Ahhh but the other day I did install WINE so i could try to get Dreamweaver running on FC5 (it didnt work ) so this could have something to do with it

any ideas ?

Huh? I have just tried again and it now seems to have worked just fine !?!

Yum goes through all the configured and enabled repositories when looking for any package. It can't know that the repo called "macromedia" doesn't have a package called "pkgconfig" without looking there. The repo had a temporary problem and didn't respond fast enough the first time you tried.
