I am trying to install VLC player with the following command

yum -y install vlc

but I am getting the following error

Error: Package: vlc-core-2.1.4-4.fc21.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-rawhide) Requires: libgcrypt.so.20(GCRYPT_1.6)(64bit)

Error: Package: vlc-core-2.1.4-4.fc21.x86_64 (rpmfusion-free-rawhide) Requires: libgcrypt.so.20()(64bit) You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Please help me to solve this

Thank You Reju Sam John

I think this has something to do with rawhide repositories. I'd say try turning back to stable repositories.

Thanks @mayorga.... But how to do it?

reju sam john ( 2014-04-24 11:55:56 -0500 )edit

Can you give us the output of the command yum repolist all?

As @mayorga wrote, you need to disable the rawhide-rpmfusion-free repository that targets the Fedora development version:

sudo yum-config-manager --disable rpmfusion-free-rawhide

And then you need enable the corresponding stable repository rpmfusion-free:

sudo yum-config-manager --enable rpmfusion-free

Also the following repository for updates should be enabled too:

sudo yum-config-manager --enable rpmfusion-free-updates

now i am getting the following error

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

reju sam john ( 2014-04-24 19:15:57 -0500 )edit

Try removing the package libass with sudo yum remove libass and then install vlc again.

remjg ( 2014-04-25 02:58:23 -0500 )edit

Even simpler I think: try sudo yum distro-sync to synchronize the available packages from the repositories you have configured with your installation. It will ask you to downgrade a few packages that you installed from the rawhide repository.

Thanks @remjg.... :-) Now vlc has been installed..... :-)

According to your command output, please run those commands

yum update --skip-broken

And

rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
