Dubious. I wish people would stop suggesting that reinstalling packages fixes something. Seldomly it does. For example, when the installed files have been damaged or deleted, which is something RPM can check. Then reinstalling the packages restores the files. Or when the packages contain install-time scripts, which process something (that is not the case here, however). More often than not, reinstalling packages does not change anything at all. Reinstalling gstreamer1-plugins-base and gstreamer1-plugins-good (both packages from Fedora) is very unlikely to fix decoding of MPEG and MP3. -- Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) - Linux 3.7.2-204.fc18.x86_64 loadavg: 0.00 0.03 0.11 -- users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
