Currently fedora builds ffmpeg-free against noopenh264, then noopenh264 is swapped out in favor of OpenH264 after installation. The problem here is that current Cisco OpenH264 repository provided from fedora-repos only provides the 64 bit package. This means none of the 32 bit ffmpeg packages (or any 32 bit package built using noopenh264) can be installed.
In a nutshell it goes like this: try to install libavcodec-free.i686 = broken dependency because it's built on noopenh264.i686, but I have openh264.x86_64 installed, so it wants openh264.i686 to match.
why are 32 bit ffmpeg packages needed? -- 32 bit applications running via wine need them. just one example.
It should additionally be noted cisco -does- offer a 32 bit build and repo, it's just missing from /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cisco-openh264.repo. I've worked around the issue by manually adding it:
[fedora-cisco-openh264-multilib] name=Fedora $releasever openh264 (From Cisco) - multilib metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-cisco-openh264-$releasever&arch=i386 type=rpm enabled=1 metadata_expire=14d repo_gpgcheck=0 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$releasever-$basearch skip_if_unavailable=True
If 32bit stuff is needed (and it seems so), we need to make that x86_64 repo multilibed. We actually shouldn't be making a i386 repo at all (IMHO).
@humaton so we need the repo to be multilib for x86_64 here. Can you add this in your regen work?
Yes, making the x86_64 repo multilib and dropping the i386 repo sounds like a good plan to me.
