Your last post came direct to me and didn't go to the list.  I still 
haven't found the best way to reply on this list, but please check 
before hitting send.

Note:  I need to heed my own advice here.  Resending to list.

And I suspect that this list, like most others that I use, prefers 
'bottom posting', so I've changed that.

I have just spent the morning moving my Fedora 17 box from an ATrpms 
base to rpmfusion; it still has unresolved problems. I recently did the 
same with my SL6 laptop.  You have chosen to go the other way, so I 
can't easily compare what we see.

Your 'vlc requires' messages may be looking for packages from 
ATrpms-testing, which your command line above won't have enabled - you 
omitted a *.   The name doesn't mean what it says; it just marks 
packages that may change RHEL functionality. The others may be from 
rpmfusion and you may be able to remove them by rpm -e if you don't need 
them elsewhere.  I don't think I can offer any more help.  Good luck.
