Mario is my main Linux box. I had to uninstall x264 this comes from the fact that I mixed livna and freshrpms. I never intended to do so, but I started with freshrpms back in the day, but nowadays I use livna for my graphics card. That plus freshrpms relative lack of updates compared to livna means that it’s slowly sliding off my computer. The only bad thing is that livna does not carry binaries for Cinelerra. I’ll have to investigate what I should do there. So far, for dependency errors I’ve had to remove:

lalbgl x264 cinelerra dvdrip ffmpeg ffmpeg-libpostproc gstreamer-bad k3b-extras-nonfree kino libquicktime mencoder mjpegtools mplayer mplayer-skins mplayerplug-in ogmrip subtitleripper transcode vlc

Most of these I plan to reinstall afterwards. Further reporting if there are most steps that need to be taken and/or when I get to a Fedora 8 desktop.
