Previouly ATrpms would have default setting, but I felt like that being wrong, and removed them. > I'm currently in doubt how I should install the xmms-mp3 package. > > livna is enabled and a "smart upgrade" shows no interesting package available > for the upgrade.

And it sais "installed" which means it assumes you don't have them installed. Is it true that you don't have say "sed" on the system? I don't think so, so I guess smart's rpm-db channel is out of order. What does $ smart channel --show rpm-db [rpm-db] type = rpm-sys name = RPM Database return on your system? > Regards, > Marcel > > Computing transaction... > > Installed packages (94): > MAKEDEV findutils iproute > > libtiff sed > SysVinit freeglut iputils > > libttf2 setup > audit-libs freetype kernel-smp > > lvm2 shadow-utils > basesystem gawk less > > medley-package-config sysklogd > bash gdk-pixbuf libacl > > mingetty tar > chkconfig glib libattr > > mkinitrd termcap > coreutils glib libfontconfig1 > > mktemp tzdata > cpio glib2 libfontconfig1 > > module-init-tools udev > cracklib glibc libfreetype6 > > ncurses unzip > cracklib-dicts glibc libfreetype6 > > net-tools util-linux > db4 glibc-common libgcc > > nvidia-graphics7676-libs xmms > desktop-file-utils grep libgcc > > pam xmms-mp3 > device-mapper gtk+ libjpeg > > pcre xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL > e2fsprogs gtk+ libpng > > popt xorg-x11-Mesa-libGLU > ethtool gzip libselinux > > procps xorg-x11-libs > expat hotplug libsepol > > psmisc xorg-x11-libs > expat hwdata libstdc++ > > readline zlib > fedora-release info libstdc++ > > redhat-menus zlib > filesystem initscripts libtermcap > > redhat-menus0 > > 84.9MB of package files are needed. 248.7MB will be used. > > Confirm changes?
