update error

[Pedroski]

I update almost every day:
[pedro@pedro-bedro ~]$ sudo yum --skip-broken update

For about 6 weeks now, maybe longer, I keep getting

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
ffmpeg-libs-0.8.10-1.fc16.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free-updates
firefox-12.0-1.fc16.x86_64 from updates
gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-0.10.22-2.fc16.2.x86_64 from updates
gstreamer-plugins-bad-free-extras-0.10.22-2.fc16.2.x86_64 from updates
libvpx-1.0.0-1.fc16.x86_64 from updates
xulrunner-12.0-1.fc16.x86_64 from updates

If I use the software update program, it also fails on these. It says: missing dependency
No packages to update
None of the selected packages could be updated

A click on 'more details' gives:
libavcodec52-0.7.5-47.fc16.x86_64 requires libvpx.so.0()(64bit) : Success - empty transaction

Anyone know what is going on here??

Just a guess here but try

 yum provides libvpx.so.0

and install whatever package it shows you. Then run yum update afterwards and see if the dependencies are resolved.

[Pedroski]

Did that:
Install 1 Package

Total download size: 183 k
Installed size: 183 k
Is this ok [y/N]: y

libvpx-0.9.7.1-1.fc16.i686.rpm | 183 kB 00:00

Installed:
libvpx.i686 0:0.9.7.1-1.fc16

Complete!

then I did sudo yum --skip-broken update

Same old problem mentioned above. Any more ideas??

I think the trouble is I should get the 64 bit version. How can I do that??

libavcodec was installed from atrpms.

You will have to remove libavcodec52 to be able to update

yum remove libavcodec52

yum update

[Pedroski]

Thank you, worked like a dream!!

I had that very same issue. libavcodec52 was installed by AutoPlus from the atrpms repo. I kept hoping atrpms would update the package, but they never did, so I had to remove it. The functionality of libavcodec52 is in ffmpeg-libs, so you don't lose the ability to play any videos or anything.

I was wondering how anyone could know that! Thanks again!!
