Thank you for that clarification. ATrpms was "required" to get support
for one of the other packages installed and/or applications we needed to
build (I forget which).
Prior to your response, I located the offending RPM and performed a
command line
rpm -e live-2012.02.04-1.el6.x86_64
No other dependencies were displayed upon execution of the above command
(if memory serves, the -e flag will then respond packages A, B, ... need
also to be removed and queries before proceeding if rpm finds such
dependencies), and thus it completed.
vlc 2.0.6 production then did install from RPMfusion, and now does work.
Presumably, if I downloaded the development versions of all of the
packages that vlc 2.0.6 rpm used, I could build vlc 2.0.7 . At the
moment, this is not necessary.
(Etiquette: does this list want start or end replies? I have forgotten.)

When I installed rpmfusion for vlc production current (2.0.6) for IA-32
on my laptop, there were no issues. When I attempt to install the same
thing here, I find:

I have found:

'live' comes from the ATrpms repo for el6, and rpmfusion/ATrpms are
known to conflict. What happens if you try to yum remove it? Why do
you have it installed?

but nothing for live-2012 (nor my guess of live2012) that seems relevant
to this issue.
I am not asking for specifics on debugging -- however, I do not
recognize either live555 nor live-2012 except from the above search
yields -- indicating that live555 provides a "set of C++ libraries for
multimedia streaming, using open standard protocols (RTP/RTCP, RTSP,
SIP)" -- that makes sense for an application such as vlc. Does anyone
know anything about these "packages"? Will one suffice for the other
and thus a manual install with a force nodeps override will in fact work?
Technical question: for a .so file or an executable, ldd will inform as
to the required dependencies. What is the functional equivalent for a
rpm file to ldd, preferably an equivalent that will list both the
dependencies in terms of actual files (e.g., foobar.so.3.7.19-mnj) and
(hopefully) the RPMs from a particular repository (e.g., SL, rpmfusion,
etc., depending upon the distribution that supplied the RPM) that supply
such files?
Otherwise, I am back to the issue of finding the "non-free" and other
CODECs needed for vlc current production release built from source (not
SRPM, but source).
Any information would be appreciated.
