Error: Missing Dependency: libx264.so.68 is needed by package
cinelerra-2.1-0.15.20070108.el5.rf.i386 (installed)

However, cinelerra was *never* one of the packages set to be updated.
It always hung, on the Missing Dependency: libx264.so.68  for
cinelerra

I am not using cinelerra at this time, so I removed it this morning:

  cinelerra.i386 0:2.1-0.15.20070108.el5.rf

After that, I was able to yum update the box, with no issues.

There is probably a much more proper way to have gotten around this
issue, but this box is fully updated again. Thanks to everyone who
replied in this thread!

The problem may be that libx264 was set to be updated, but could not
be because installed package cinelerra had an absolute dependency on
an older version (rather than an "at least" dependency).

I seem to recall having to drop several packages that depended on a
specific libx264 version a while ago, but I no longer remember which
ones (lua related, possibly?).
