I installed by the method described, and all went relatively well. Until a few days passed, and I was notified I had updates. OK, until 11 of them failed on dependencies. Then I had the joy of tracking which dependencies were for which packages. Bit of trial and error later I had to uninstall most of the multimedia additions in the HowTo. Anyone have a suggestion what is happening with that?
I recommend to install the following packages: 1.) yum-skip-broken This package prevents your system from packages with broken dependences. 2.) yum-fedorakmod && yum-kernel-module These packages prevent your system from updating the kernel, if you have kernel-modules installed, which are not available yet for the new kernel. 3.) yum-fastestmirror This package ensures that the fastest available server will be used for operations with yum.

All great tips. Thanks. However: Point of testing this Howto was to see a simple reproducible way to run those apps under Fedora7. With several of them "breaking" in updates, I wonder what is the proper means to cure the dependencies updates problems? Thanks again if you have any suggestions..
I think it's a problem with the repository(s) - I never had such problems by now. I recommend to add only the livna- and the adobe-repository. Livna harmonizes perfect with the Fedora repository. If you are going to add other repositorys like freshrpms or atrpms, be sure that you disable them by default (/etc/yum.repos.d/..... -> enabled=0). Otherwise you'll possibly get big problems. - And don't disable the gpgcheck - this problem has been solved. If you need to add and enable different repositorys be sure that you install and configure one of these packages: yum-priorities ( http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities ) or yum-protectbase ( http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/ProtectBase ) Olli
