Simple problem : You need to add an "extras" entry to your sources.list
where you already have core, updates and freshrpms. This is because FC4
freshrpms now relies on core + extras and not only core anymore.
Typically, xmms, bmp, wxGTK and Glide3 are extras packages which some
packages in freshrpms depend on ;-)
