gstreamer-plugins-base conflicts with gstreamer-plugins-good
 

This is blocking me from installing practically anything now.

Is there a way I can fix this?

I'm using Fedora Core 11...

quick fix
 

Just use

yum update --skip-broken

and you are good to go.

When I do that, it gives me this error in response:


Resolving Dependencies
--> Running transaction check
---> Package gstreamer-plugins-base.i586 0:0.10.25-2.fc11 set to be updated

Untill you find out, what the conflict is about,

.. you can just remove gstreamer-plugins-good
.. to see what happens.

May be the package is from another repo, not in sync
with the fedora.repo for the time.

Which repo's have you got ?
' ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ '
.. will show ..
.....

I've been trying to remove gstreamer-plugins-good but lots of apps apparently depend on it. :(

edited: er, that's quite a few repo's... is there a way to post this list without flooding?

I hope this isn't a flood.
These are my repos:

adobe-linux-i386.repo
fedora-rawhide.repo
fedora.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo
livna.repo
rpmfusion-free-rawhide.repo
rpmfusion-free.repo
rpmfusion-free-updates.repo

rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates.repo.rpmsave
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing.repo.rpmsave

identical issue here
 

fedora 11, same repos, except for the *.rpmsave.
tried 'yum clean all', no dice.
tried 'package-cleanup --problems', no cigar.
tried 'package-cleanup --dupes', nada.

original error message:
--> Processing Conflict: gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.25-2.fc11.x86_64 conflicts gstreamer-plugins-good < 0.10.16-3

--skip-broken no help
 

I have this problem on three different machines (all my fc11 machines)

Same problem here...just started while trying to do updates this week. (fedora 11)

simple fix
 

I had the same issues - and I noticed I couldn't use Pidgin or Rhythmbox either. I'm on F11 new install shortly after first coplete system update. The fix in my case was to do a 'yum clean all' and then a 'yum makecache' and then a 'yum update' and now the issue seems resolved. Hope this helps someone. - Lani

That worked lanidarc, thanks...should have tried that.

Well, thanx for 'yum makecache' advice. I'm already tried 'yum clean all' as a simpliest possible solution, but it does not work. The other one is to erase gstreamer-plugins-good if you can sacrifice pidgin.

yum clean all and yum makecache combined seems to have solved this issue for me.

That's correct it does NOT solve the conflict. And we have to give up much more than pidgin with gs'-plugins-good. gnome-applets also has a dependency.

Then please confirm: you are able to install

gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10.25-2.fc11.i586

AND

gstreamer-plugins-good < 0.10.16-3

?

I don't think so.
