 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Thanks...

You have other packages already installed on your system that have dependencies on other packages at a different version level than VLC requires, hence the errors. I'm running Scientific Linux 6 (an RHEL clone) that has the same problem. I assume you have both atrpms and rpmforge repositories installed? If so, disable rpmforge and try reinstalling vlc, which is also in the atrpms repository, though that is currently at vlc 1.1.8 instead of 1.1.9. I expect that to be resolved in a short period of time.

Step 1. Clean up the mess from the computer.

$ rpm -qa | grep vlc
- finds installed versions of vlc

$ rpm -e vlc-1.1.9*
- removes the package and its dependencies (if any)

$ rpm -q vlc
- shows on the display the installed vlc packages

In the end clean up with Bleachbit as Common user and Bleachbit as Administrator.
So, now you are at ground zero.

Step 2. Look in the repository lists. Navigate to Add/Remove Software and in the search-box there write: vlc
If the package appears - install it.
If there is installed one already - reinstall it
If you intend to install external vlc package - remove it

Step 3. Try with an older version of vlc (the last but one) for RHEL 6

Write in Google: vlc-1.1.8-68.1.el6.i686.rpm
and make a trial to compile and install the package directly from the site where it is.

If it does not compile (needs dependencies), make a list of the dependencies and download them together with the main package in one directory as Common user, and compile them all-in-one.

Step 4. If you make a mess and can't manage with it any more GOTO step 1.

RPM now does dependencies?
I would use yum, and not specify the version.

Code:

yum erase vlc

RPM now does dependencies?

With the right options, it sure does.

rpm(

: RPM Package Manager - Linux man page

And those are some pretty well written steps from user-f11.
If you run into any errors, though, post the exact message here.

RE: YUM and RPM
YUM is the package manager of Fedora and RPM - of Red Head.
Both are doing one and the same job - managing software packages.
You may work with whatever you feel comfortable.

At present YUM is used in Fedora, CentOS-5, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and above, Scientific Linux, Yellow Dog Linux and Oracle Enterprise Linux and is based on the .RPM standard of package management (developed by the Linux Foundation).

RE: Can the dependencies be deleted
Yes, they can, but you can delete something that you might miss subsequently (in these case some codecs, for example).
So take care when using prefix*
The asterisk means that the command applies to all packages starting with that 'prefix'. Thus for example if you write vlc* it is supposed to clean up all the packages starting with vlc, but there maybe some other packages having nothing to do with the vlc player that 'will go' in this way (in this case in particular there are no such, but you should be sure). If you are not sure what it will do, delete the packages one-by-one.

It may be more 'labor-intensive' but it is safer, and as a paradox comes to be less 'labor-intensive' taking into consideration the remedy of the eventual 'damages'.

Rpm and yum are present on each of Fedora And Red Hat systems and do different things, indeed yum relies on rpm to do it's heavy lifting. Rpm is the package manager, it reads the .spec file in each .rpm and keeps track of the dependencies listen in those files. If you try to erase a package with rpm, it will fail if there are other packages which depend upon it, unless you specify the --nodeps option. Rpm can neither automatically remove dependent programs, nor add them. In the bad old days, we had to install the dependent packages manually. Some of them had their own dependencies. This process was known as dependency hell.

Yum was designed to solve these programs, by erasing or installing the dependencies as well.

My mistake on vlc*. It should have been vlc-*. You can find out what packages that would erase with

Code:

rpm -qa |grep vlc-*
