I attended a stock 32-bit Fedora 9 install the other day. After
updating the system against the Fedora repo, and then enabling the
atrpms.net stable repo there were a couple of yum conflicts which
broke the straightforward installation for a new user, notably PIL vs
python-imaging.

If such conflicting packages such as these are available from the
master Fedora updates repo_and_ a 3rd party repo, why would a
3rd-party repo (this question is not just limited to atrpms.net) _not_
drop them to remove the conflict, and allow a painless installation?
This doesn't just apply to MythTV installations either, but it is
where I have had to resolve the most yum conflicts over the years.
