Paulo, I set out to do this, this morning.  I have ffmpeg from livna 
installed, so I tried to remove it in order to install the freshrpms version.  
However, it said that I would also remove many programs that I need.  I know 
that if necessary I could make a list then reinstall them, but should I force 
a remove without dependencies?  If so, what is the command?  I can't find it 
in the man page.  Is it easier to use rpm?

Sorry to be a nuisance.
