Shortly after installing, I got a pop-up
notice that security updates wre available.
On doing yum update, I got error messages:

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

I did a rollback, but that did not seem to help until I did a yum clean all.
Now yum update tell me that there is nothing to do.
Given that I did a yum update before install audacity,
that would seem to be the right answer.
My packages seem to be ok now.

Time for a late breakfast.

ahhh, mixing rpmforge and epel is hazardous, and ideally you use the rpm 
priorities thing and install from epel by preference, only using 
rpmforge for stuff thats not in epel.         rpmforge (now repoforge) 
has fallen pretty far behind on things, so I avoid using it entirely if 
I can.
