: Your not doing something wrong.. the conflict is apparently coded into
: the mplayer and mozplugger rpms. Usually this is done because they
: share a filename... but not content. It's possible you could download
: the smaller of the two src rpms. Then edit the spec file for it and
: install that way. I've got mplayer on my box and I'm not missing
: mozplugger myself... but that's just me.
The conflict comes from the fact that both the default setups for
mozplugger and mplayerplugin control the various video/* mime-types.
Regardless, I can download either of the two rpms and install it via
"rpm --nodeps <rpm>" and everything is all cool.
I'm curious as to why "--allow-force/nodeps" isn't being passed to rpm
by urpmi.
