The fedora list @ RedHat is a much better place for these types of
questions (yum specific.) I would exclude mythmusic from the update
and get the rest of the updates. I generally do a 'yum check-update'
to get a list of everything that needs updating. Then do the update
in batches so that I can easily deduce what I need to update by hand.
Depending on how libmp4ff was installed, it might not be in the rpm
db and so may need to be instaaled as an rpm.
