Can anyone point me to (or give me) a good detailed
technical explanation of the problems? Has anything
changed with fc6?

I Personally use FC Extras, Dries(/dag), freshrpms, and jpackage without
any issues and have run those repositories since RH 7.3 without issues.

For a better explanation of the issue read this FAQ entry
http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php#D1

Yes, I read that. But it, like everything else I found, it
doesn't really say *why* these problems occur. If package
X-2.0 requires package Y-1.3, why does it matter if package
Y-1.3 (or X-2.0) comes from Livna or Freshrpms? I can see
that sometimes someone might compile a package with some
odd options, but wouldn't (shouldn't?) that be rather rare?
I'm sure my understanding is missing something here which
is why I wanted to read a more comprehensive description
of this problem.

I wonder if this is the wrong place to ask. Maybe I should
be asking on some fedora developer or packager list.


The problem is some reps have the same programs with the same name that
are incompatable. seems the the livna mplayer would not work with the
freshrpms mplayer at one time.Right now I haveing conflicts between
totem and totem-xine both which has other rpms that go along with the
programs.
