Of course, 'yum remove' tells me what packages it is taking down. Doh! For the sake of any lurkers, when I uninstalled libfaad2, it uninstalled mplayer, gnome-mplayer and gnome-mplayer-common. I successfully installed k3b-extras-freeworld and k3b no longer complains about a missing mp3 codec. I then reinstalled gnome-mplayer, which brought back mplayer and gnome-mplayer-common, but did not try to install libfaad2. Gnome-mplayer is working satisfactorily.
Thanks everyone for your help and patience. Cheers, Doug On Sun, 2010-11-28 at 10:17 +1000, Doug Hutcheson wrote: > Nicolas, thanks for that.
