I get:
package fedora-release-4-2_3.rhfc4.at (which is newer than fedora-
release-4-2) is already installed

I think I did have extras before my last big yum update. At least I know
I never removed it and this was a base FC4 install.

I tried creating a fedora-extras.repo based on:
[extras]
name=Fedora Extras - $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/$releasever/$basearch/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/RPM-
GPG-KEY-Fedora-Extras

When I try to install vlc I still get similar results:
yum install vlc

As a side note, what is the difference between vlc and videolan-client
anyway? Why does the vlc package require so many more dependencies than
videolan-client?

Thanks,
James
