gstreamer plugins and dependency pain

[mcelroyj]

I'm trying to install some gstreamer plugins through yum using the modified yum.conf from the unofficial fedora faq. however, I'm running into a dependency issue which I can't seem to resolve. some of the plugins require libdvdnav.so.0 and libfame-0.9.so.0 - which i have.

Here's the output of some commands I ran. If anyone has any tips, tricks, or hints I would really appreciate it.

Package gstreamer06-plugins-extra-dvd needs libdvdnav.so.0, this is not available.
Package gstreamer-plugins-extra-dvd needs libdvdnav.so.0, this is not available.
Package gstreamer-plugins-extra-video needs libfame-0.9.so.0, this is not available.
Package gstreamer06-plugins-extra-video needs libfame-0.9.so.0, this is not available.

[root@speedcoma mcelroyj]# slocate libdvdnav.so.0 /usr/lib/libdvdnav.so.0
/usr/lib/libdvdnav.so.0.3.0

[root@speedcoma mcelroyj]# slocate libfame-0.9.so.0
/usr/lib/libfame-0.9.so.0
/usr/lib/libfame-0.9.so.0.0.0

Is yum just being stupid?

If you're looking to run mplayer or totem or something like that, if you just tell synaptic to install those programs, it'll all work fine. Check out http://fedoranews.org/contributors/tim_taylor/synaptic/ for more details.
