ty macemoneta,
that seems to have got it installed.
before i got your advise i ran the first step...
rpm --import
http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
then installed and uninstalled nano. nano was installed at the suggestion of the os when i tried to run the command "nano /etc/yum.conf" but then i removed it using System->Administration->Add/Remove Software by unchecking the box next to nano in the package manager and clicking accept.
subsequently when i ran a update "yum -y update" i got some problems and some proposed workarounds that i tried to use. i have reboot the machine and the red update badge is now gone.
would the action i took prior to your advise and installing cinelerra cause the problems i encountered when i ran the update or is it perhaps a side-effect from something else?
this is on fedora 12 selinux.
please advise.
here is the errors i get when i run "yum -y update" now...

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
