I feel rather lame posting this here, but after several days of experimenting and Googling the issue, I find myself in a dependency loop while using "yum" to install the gstreamer packages in Fedora 15. The objective was to allow dragon (default media player) to handle *.wmv files attached to emails within Thunderbird 8.0. Just prior to running the command, I ran "yum update", so assume that all installed packages are current. When the install is attempted I get the following:
# yum install gstreamer-ffmpeg-0.10.11-4.fc15.x86_64 --skip-broken
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit

I have tried it with many permutations of the yum command and options, none of which have worked. I suspect that I have missed a change in the default handling of media files, but couldn't find a reference. I would greatly appreciate a gentle slap with the clue stick regarding this issue.
Thanks
