       Hello,

       I  think  you should not let enable=1 in the dag repo but  use
       rather:
       yum --enablerepo=dag install vlc

       Otherwise you may have conflicts between SL and Dag repository
       after  a  nightly  yum  update  as I  had  a  few  years  ago.

       I  remember CERN have a yum protectbase plugin but I never try
       it.
