Hi,
I just need some assurance that I haven't broken my system...

I have accidentally let yum update xmms from 1.2.9 to 1.2.10, and now I get 
the "We don't do mp3 anymore" msg when trying to play a stream from 
ShoutCast.

I did 
# yum remove xmms
but it wanted to remove some kde files (can't remember the names) as 
dependencies, which I thought was a bad idea, and cancelled.

I have done 
# rpm -e --nodeps xmms
and 
#rpm -ivh ~/tmp/xmms-1.2.9-1.i386.rpm
which fixed the problem, and have added exclude=xmms to my /etc/yum/conf.

Does that sound right?  Should I expect anything to be broken?
