Trying here, since no one with same problem at rpmfusion-users list.
Via yum the response is posted at:
http://fpaste.org/ZN5q/
, with the last part being:
Somewhere along the path it is wanting to update i686 packages, while
installing the update for an x86_64 one. It doesn't seem to make sense.
I would have expected others to see it, since mine is a fairly normal
install (nothing weird done from memory). I have left it since last
week, incase mirrors weren't up2date etc, but still occurring today. Any
ideas as to the cause ?
Yum being confused about how to resolve _everything_?
gstreamer-plugins-bad.x86_64 gets updated to 0.10.17-4
gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras requires gstreamer-plugins-bad = 0.10.17-2
which is the previous release (and not the latest 0.10.17-4 from February).
Both releases are in the repository. Multiarch, x86_64 *and* i686. The
dependency is arch-independent.
gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras.x86_64 is happy with gstreamer-plugins-bad.i686
because that one exists in the needed version 0.10.17-2 (and 0.10.17-4),
and gstreamer-plugins-bad.x86_64 can be upgraded to the 0.10.17-4 (except
that the -bad-free package is missing).
