not really. the core of the problem is that rpmfusion-free-obsolete-packages rpmfusion-nonfree-obsolete-packages obsoletes these packages and has much larger version than gstreamer*. imho it's a very bad solution that rpmfusion-free-obsolete-packages provides and obsoletes a LOTS of other packages. imho the rpm's obsoletes is not design for this. the original goal was to be able to provides another name for a packages. so this very dirty trick what rpmfusion-free-obsolete-packages and rpmfusion-nonfree-obsolete-packages do is not normal. what's more prevent anyone to use any of these packages even from different repo or build by themselves! -- Levente "Si vis pacem para bellum!" _______________________________________________ rpmfusion-users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
