Is RPMfusion on strike? [SOLVED -- at least for me]

[William Case]

Hi gilpel;

I am up early in the morning and adding just a bit more.  I really think
you should be using yumex.  Its a graphical front end for yum and keeps
everything visual, simple and informative.  yum install yumex.
However ...

Using globs will let yum show you every version of a file that you have
installed.  Here is what you should get.

]# yum list installed akmod-nvidia*
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
akmod-nvidia.x86_64         185.18.14-1.fc11
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates

]# yum list installed kmod-nvidia*
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
kmod-nvidia-2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.x86_64.x86_64
                  185.18.14-1.fc11.3
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
kmod-nvidia-2.6.29.6-217.2.7.fc11.x86_64.x86_64
                  185.18.14-1.fc11.5
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
kmod-nvidia-2.6.29.6-217.2.8.fc11.x86_64.x86_64
                  185.18.14-1.fc11.6
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates

]# yum list installed xorg-x11-drv-nvidia*
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Installed Packages
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.x86_64        185.18.14-3.fc11
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.x86_64   185.18.14-3.fc11
@rpmfusion-nonfree-updates

You will notice all packages are version 186.18.14-something.
If packages with another version number (e.g. 185.18.31) shows up,
remove them.  It would be better to remove everything like I have
suggested and re-install.  Make sure those previous header files, akmod,
kernel-devel have been removed.  And akmod and kernel-devel have been
re-installed.
