YDL 4.1, dependency hell, codecs

[Paul Higgins]

Hi, everyone:

Has anyone other than me noticed a lot of dependency hell when using yum in 
YDL 4.1?  Nearly everything I've tried to install has numerous problems.  At 
some point I'll probably have the nerve to try compiling some of this stuff 
from scratch, or resolving the dependencies manually, but as for using yum, 
it appears that a lot of even the official repos have dependency 
problems--usually involving not even having the needed dependencies.  Could 
someone who's having more success than me please share their /etc/yum.conf?

Also, I've noticed that several codecs needed to play some very common 
multimedia files (like .mov) are missing from Totem and other players, which 
is strange, since they were there in YDL 4.0.  Any suggestions on getting 
these in a reasonably easy manner?  I've done some searching and found it 
rather frustrating.

Thanks,
