Description of problem: alsa-utils-1.0.25-7.fc16, with a signature date "Wed 01 Feb 2012", showed up in updates for Fedora 16. Unfortunately this requires "alsa-lib >= 0:1.0.25" which is not available. BTW - x86_64 repositories would need both x86_64 and i686 updates to alsa-lib before all of this will get consistent. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): alsa-utils-1.0.25-7.fc16
the actual transaction error text was "alsa-utils-1.0.25-7.fc16.x86_64 requires alsa-lib >= 1.0.25 : Success - empty transaction" (interestingly if i remember right i had the package install with no problems on a updates-testing enabled machine but fail when tried on a stable machine of similar build.)

My guess would be that updates-testing had all required library packages, and updates to everything which would be affected by a change, but somebody jumped a gun and pushed out only a small piece of that without checking thus breaking dependencies.

The alsa-lib 1.0.25 package is in the update repository now.

next time push them together. look how KDE team pushes the whole thing coming from multiple SRPMs. it is possible to join updates and avoid this embarrassment.
