Description of problem: libmpcdec package for rhel4 breaks anything depending on libmpcdec.so.3 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libmpcdec.i386 1.2.6-1.el4 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install something, like mplayer, that requires libmpcdec.so.3 2.Run yum update Actual results: Error: Missing Dependency: libmpcdec.so.3 is needed by package mplayer Expected results: Updates w/o error Additional info:
It's not breaking any dependencies within EPEL, that I'm aware of. Where are you installing mplayer from?
rpmforge/dag.wieers The main problem is that it's a version update, so, anything built against the old version, rpm or not, breaks. In the case of a version update, it'd be good to keep the older version still in the rpm (or release two versions or a compat pacakge -- like redhat does w. the official rpms)
I'll see if we can work something out. This latest version is fully source/api compatible, so hopefully I can talk the nice rpmforge folks into rebuilding their libmpcdec apps against the latest version too.
also see bug #425541 - same issue, but with libupnp from epel and vlc from rpmforge/dag Yes, some coordination would be good since both repos are big, popular source of rpms. Any messages I've sent to the dag email reporting issues have either been ignored, forgotten, or spam trapped someplace.
fyi, http://lists.rpmforge.net/pipermail/packagers/2007-December/000562.html
hopefully sorted out by now. If you still have issues, please reopen.
