Dominik in private also said I can push the stuff once mplayer finished. So I did a few hours ago. Now I get this on my rawhide system: """ Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package ffmpeg-libs.x86_64 0:0.5-4.20091026svn.fc12 set to be updated ---> Package libdca.x86_64 0:0.0.5-5.fc12 set to be updated ---> Package libquicktime.x86_64 0:1.1.3-3.fc12 set to be updated --> Processing Dependency: libx264.so.76()(64bit) for package: gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.12-3.fc12.x86_64 ---> Package x264-libs.x86_64 0:0.0.0-0.26.20091026gitec46ace7.fc12 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.12-3.fc12.x86_64 from installed has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: libx264.so.76()(64bit) is needed by package gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.12-3.fc12.x86_64 (installed) Error: Missing Dependency: libx264.so.76()(64bit) is needed by package gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.12-3.fc12.x86_64 (installed) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: package-cleanup --problems package-cleanup --dupes rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest """ Guess lot's of other will run into this to. So who is going to fix this quickly?

And how do we handle things like this more gracefully in the future without annoying our users each time? Site note: not even all packages from the earlier x264/ffmpeg update round got fixed in between: package: ultrastardx-1.1.1-1.7.20090411.fc11.x86_64 from rpmfusion-free-rawhide unresolved deps: libavutil.so.49()(64bit)

Sure, that's mostly a problem of the ultrastardx maintainer. But if such big updates like the earlier one for ffmpeg are done only very weeks before a new release then the ones that update ffmpeg IMHO should help a bit more to keep the repo in a sane state to allow testing of both Fedora and RPM Fusion.
