Just a word from/to the adventurous and unwise.
On Dec 27, I installed mythtv using the Fedora-7 instructions on the 
mythtv site using the
atrpms-package-config-118-1.fc8.i386.rpm.   This was on a bare-metal 
installation of Fedora 8
(fully updated).   After I installed mythtv, I got a prompt for an 
update of these files (the current installations on F8):
 
directfb-1.0.0-3.fc8   
flac-1.2.1-1.fc8   
fuse-2.7.0-8.fc8   
ipw2200-firmware-3.0.9   
libraw1394-1.3.0-3.fc8
lirc-0.8.2-2.fc8
lm_sensors-2.10.5-1.fc8
lzo-2.02-3.fc8
mutt-1.5.17-2.fc8
pm-utils-0.99.4-6.fc8

After I updated, the Fedora 8 add/remove program was broken.  A bug 
report was created,
indicating pirut was malfunctioning.   I didn't send it, since it didn't 
seem reasonable.

After a bare-metal re-installation and update of Fedora 8, I 
re-installed mythtv and got exactly the same result (Again!).  On the 
third bare metal install, I removed the atrpms repo entry from 
yum.repos.d.   The 'Update prompt ' promptly went away.  I have not 
investigated further; mythtv is working well enough for now.
