Yum Update , Update manager problems

[lynxus]

Hi guys,
I get a message saying there are 10 updates. However it wont update and errors moaning about dependencys missing.

So i ran a normal yum -y update and got the same error. I tried to exclude the offending package but no luck..

Any ideas how i can updtae without the error ?

Try "yum install libavformat.so50" and see what happens. Or keep unchecking packages until you find the one that is causing the problem.

all you should have to add is --exclude=mplayer (to your yum command)

seems to still want mplayer =/

you could also try "yum erase mplayer" and then try again

You must exclude ffmpeg and ffmpeg-libs, not mplayer from the update. They are trying to update libavformat to a newer version than the one required by your installed mplayer.
