FFMPEG conflict with LIBSWSCALE

hesthecat · #1 2009-08-20, 03:06 AM CDT

Trying to watch an AVI and Totem Movie Player needed to add some plugins etc. Gives me this error after downloading about 64 files and not completing install:

Then tried to install VLC from the GPK and similar conflict occurs again with failed installed.

Haven't been able to search too much on this, for which I apologise as I have water pouring in from the flat upstairs. One of those days and it's only 10am!! lol

Running Fedora 11

So I've had errors with Totem, Mplayer, VLC, and Xine just threw this at me:

All I want to do is watch the Avatar trailer at Apple lol. Ideally I'd prefer VLC installed but I can't remove the conflicting files via the GPK so wondering if someone out there can help me? Also hoping to find answers for this for others on another forum.

Fedora 11 is a clean install very recently so I'm surprised at this issue.

You can try, carefully, removing ffmpeg-libs and then trying to install Totem, Xine, MPlayer and VLC. Pay attention to what yum proposes to remove along with ffmpeg-libs as it likes to take dependencies with it. You can try the same for the other dependency errors you are seeing.

Code:

yum remove ffmpeg-libs
yum install mplayer mplayer-gui

You may be able to do the same for faad2-libs.

Code:

yum remove faad2-libs

Both at the same time..

Code:

yum remove faad2-libs ffmpeg-libs
yum install mplayer mplayer-gui

Bottom line is that sometimes with yum installs and errors you need to remove a package or packages before you can install others, but the others will bring the removed packages back in, probably different versions, but that's the way it is.

Did I mention to pay attention to what yum proposes to remove? Sometimes disaster strikes.

so I did a search on the harddrive for all the conflicting files in the hope their removal would allow for a clean install of VLC.. though:

libfaad.so.2.0.0 can't be found
ffmpeg-libs is from rpmfusion (noted this as maybe this repository is causing conflict?)
libavutil can't be found

libfaad.so.2.0.0 of course can't be found
libfaad2-1:2.7-16.fc11.i586 can't be found
faad2-libs-1:2.7-1.fc11.i586 can't be found

Silly yum error messages.

What does yum repolist show and what's that kmdl plugin? I don't see it listed with other plugins.

hesthecat · #6 2009-08-22, 04:37 AM CDT

Glennzo thank so much for your help btw. I hope the kindness comes back to you ten-fold!!

kmdl plugin and the other repositories I installed during a 2-3 week attempt at getting wicd/madwifi to work.

Geesh! Instead of editing my own post I edited yours. Oops!

**glennzo** · #7 2009-08-22, 04:40 PM CDT

OK, start by disabling AtRPMS. The easiest way to do that is to edit the .repo file directly.

Code:

su -c 'nano /etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo'

Change the line that reads enabled=1 to enabled=0. Save and exit. Now yum repolist won't show atrpms and that repository won't be used for updates or anything else for that matter unless you explicitly tell yum to use it. If you need to use that repository simply use a command like this.

Code:

su -c 'yum --enablerepo=atrpms install something'

I've been gone all day. Where are you at now?

For what it's worth, the command yum whatprovides can come in handy in times like this. You say libavutil can't be found. Try this.

Code:

[glenn@leonardo ~]$ yum whatprovides */libavutil
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto, refresh-packagekit
Excluding Packages in global exclude list

updates/filelists_db                                                              | 5.4 MB     00:09     
ffmpeg-devel-0.5-2.fc11.i586 : Development package for ffmpeg
Repo        : rpmfusion-free
Matched from:

It's part of the ffmpeg-devel package.

hesthecat · #8 2009-08-22, 06:03 PM CDT

Actually I'd already tried to disable atrpms but the repo file was blank. Adding the single line 'enabled=0' caused and error. What should it contain?!

My whatprovides is somewhat lengthier:

So from this post
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=174435
I've copy/pasted that in to see if it works.. ooh fingers crossed!

(later)

Quote:

Repository atrpms is listed more than once in the configuration

So ended up with same conflicts. How would I remove atrpms?

(bed)

**glennzo** · #10 2009-08-22, 06:35 PM CDT

The atrpms repo should have this content.

Code:

[atrpms]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch - ATrpms
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/f$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1

Note enabled=0. To remove it just move the file artpms.repo out of /etc/yum.repos.d, but with it disabled it shouldn't have any effect on yum as it will be ignored.

hesthecat · #11 2009-08-23, 02:49 AM CDT

I've removed all the plugins and ATrpms which now leaves me with the following when trying to install VLC:

Quote:

Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/lib/libfaad.so.2.0.0 from install of faad2-libs-1:2.7-1.fc11.i586 conflicts with file from package libfaad2-1:2.7-16.fc11.i586

I can clearly see that it's trying to install an older version of this file. How would I fair removing the newer one? Any reference to libfaad2 is only in /usr/lib/yum/yumdb/l Would this entire libfaad2 folder within /yumdb/l be safe for removal?

I'm glad to have made at least progress with ONE error finally.

**glennzo** · #12 2009-08-23, 03:26 AM CDT

Code:

yum remove faad2-libs

Then run whatever command you are trying to run.

hesthecat · #13 2009-08-23, 01:43 PM CDT

I copy and pasted what you'd put in but it different than my file. So the following:

Quote:

yum remove libfaad2

[drumroll]

only went and removed all conflicting files (ie about 4 different mplayers I'd ended up trying like a numpty). Install of VLC went all the way and works brilliantly. Just added the Firefox plugin and it too is sweeter than a sweet toothed thing.

Awesome job glennzo! Thanks for persisting with me.

**glennzo** · #14 2009-08-23, 04:01 PM CDT

Nice! Glad it worked out and you're welcome.

As a side note, generally its a good idea to keep those strange 3rd party repos disabled and only enable them through the command line when needed.
