GStreamer | gst-universe | Ver: 0.8.1

           Summary: gstreamer-universe install broken for FC2 yum
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: 0.8.1
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: High
         Component: gst-universe
        AssignedTo: gstreamer-maint at bugzilla.gnome.org
        ReportedBy: darrenb at extendedsystems.com

Follow the instructions on the gstreamer download page for Fedora Core 2 to the
point where you enter:
yum install gstreamer-universe

to receive the following errors:
........Unable to satisfy dependencies
Package gstreamer-plugins-extra-video needs libfame-0.9.so.0, this is not available.
Package gstreamer06-plugins-extra-video needs libfame-0.9.so.0, this is not
available.
Package gstreamer-GConf needs gstreamer-plugins = 0.8.1, this is not available.

even though FC2 has a later version of libfame(libfame-0.9.so.1) already
installed by default I resolved the libfame issue with
rpm -ivh --force libfame-0.9.0-1.i386.rpm
(I'm not sure if the bug here is on the gstreamer side for not supporting the
newer version of libfame or if the bug is in the libfame rpm for not providing a
link to the older libfame-0.9.so.0. Anyone care to comment?)

Unfortunately the GConf dependancy for gstreamer-plugins = 0.8.1 was not so easy
to resolve. FC2 ships with gstreamer-plugins-0.8.1-1 which IMHO should have
satisfied the GConf dependancy requirement but it doesn't. Given my previous
success with rpm --force I even tried
rpm -ivh --force gstreamer-plugins-0.8.1-0.fdr.2.2.i386.rpm
but that certainly didn't help matters at all. Are there any yum or rpm hackers
out there that could explain what's wrong and how to fix this? Thanks
