mplayer/whatever should be re-pushed to repositories.

Hi , could you be more verbose ? , it is a problem of "our" repository ? createrepo on rhel7 doesn't support weak dependencies ? 
etc

createrepo supports weakdeps when yum supports weak deps (RHEL7 doesn't support it). You can use createrepo_c.
