Is it irrelevant? He mentioned using the --force option for rpm. He 
could have uncompleted rpm transactions, multiple version installations 
and other problems.

VLC installed fine for development when I used it for a test, so 
something was mangled on his system which was preventing vlc installation..

appropriate.

I guess the problem was solved with a clean installation so the problem 
is solved for now.
