When I installed rpmfusion for vlc production current (2.0.6) for IA-32
on my laptop, there were no issues.  When I attempt to install the same
thing here, I find:

I have found:

'live' comes from the ATrpms repo for el6, and rpmfusion/ATrpms are known to conflict. What happens if you try to yum remove it? Why do you have it installed?

but nothing for live-2012 (nor my guess of live2012) that seems relevant
to this issue.

I am not asking for specifics on debugging -- however, I do not
recognize either live555 nor live-2012 except from the above search
yields -- indicating that live555 provides a "set of C++ libraries for
multimedia streaming, using open standard protocols (RTP/RTCP, RTSP,
SIP)" -- that makes sense for an application such as vlc.  Does anyone
know anything about these "packages"?  Will one suffice for the other
and thus a manual install with a force nodeps override will in fact work?

Technical question:  for a .so file or an executable, ldd will inform as
to the required dependencies.  What is the functional equivalent for a
rpm file to ldd, preferably an equivalent that will list both the
dependencies in terms of actual files (e.g., foobar.so.3.7.19-mnj) and
(hopefully) the RPMs from a particular repository (e.g., SL, rpmfusion,
etc., depending upon the distribution that supplied the RPM) that supply
such files?

Otherwise, I am back to the issue of finding the "non-free" and other
CODECs needed for vlc current production release built from source (not
SRPM, but source).

Any information would be appreciated.
