I am having some problems with the installation of both VLC and Xine. I just updated and supposedly have a fully updated and happy FC5 system. I had to uninstall both vlc and xine because they were causing problems with the update. Now when I try to reinstall both I get dependency issues. Here are copies of what happens:
xine:
[root@localhost ~]# yum clean all

what is up with this? I have never had these messages when I installed these programs in the past. Is this the first symptom of the slow death of FC5? Will I have to upgrade to 6 to get decent software support? Or is there a temporary problem with the "extras" repo? Happy to send additional info. To clear the point now, I have the yum configuration described in stanton finleys install directions..nothing fancy.
Thanks for the help!!
