The problem he is having is because he is trying to install the
Cooker-Contrib version of avifile-player instead of the 9.0-Contrib
version.
Some Cooker-Contrib rpms can be installed and run on 9.0 without
problem, others will cause problems because they were built against
different libs/depends than are available in 9.0.
When you wish to make use of a Cooker-Contrib rpm on a released system
then the best approach is to dl .src.rpm and rebuild it for your current
running system.
Alternately the 9.0 src.rpm/spec can be dled and edited to use an
also dled avifile-player-0.7.18.tar.gz/bz2 and a 9.0 version of
avifile-player-0.7.18 rpm will be created.
