Hi!
There is a build issue with xine on F8; the same problem will afaics
show up in mythtv for F8(ยน). Does anybody have a few spare cycles and is
willing to look into this? I'm not sure if it's a general yum/mock
problem, something specific to our builders or something wrong in the
Fedora repos.
I tend to say "builders", as it doesn't happen on ppc (which uses Fedora
as host for the builder; the x86 builders use centos):

Transaction Check Error:
file /usr/lib/liblirc_client.so.0.2.0 conflicts between attempted installs of
lirc-0.8.2-2.fc8 and lirc-libs-0.8.3-1.fc8
I believe this is due to a rather old yum on the buildsys. Between F-8 release
and F-8 updates lirc was split in to lirc and lirc-libs. xine BuildRequires
lirc-devel, which requires /usr/lib/liblirc_client.so.0.2.0, the old yum on the
builder has the old behavior when multiple packages provide a missing dep, to
install all providing packages, so in this case both lirc-0.8.2-2.fc8 (from F-8
release) and lirc-libs-0.8.3-1.fc8 (from F-8 updates) it should of course never
install an older lirc when a newer is available in updates (which does not
contain the lib) but it does.
Possible work arounds:
1: Add a BuildRequires on lirc-libs hoping it gets into the transaction before
the lirc-devel BuildRequires so that yum doesn't go looking for
/usr/lib/liblirc_client.so.0.2.0 as that is already there.
2: Add a BuildRequires on lirc, so that the newest lirc becomes part of the
transaction, this does not depend on dep resolv orderering (I hope) so is
probably the better workaorund.
