   This gives me (running urpmi with --verbose):   
      
   found package(s): ffmpeg-0.6-0.22960.5.3plf2010.2.i586   
   The following package cannot be installed because it depends on packages   
   that are older than the installed ones:   
   ffmpeg-0.6-0.22960.5.3plf2010.2   
   Continue installation anyway? (Y/n)   
   unlocking urpmi database   
   unlocking rpm database   
   [root@laptop rpms]#   
      
   and doesn't download anything, even with the force option.   
      
   I appreciate the input - any ideas how to get any further?
