version?

My fedora 3...
# rpm -qa|grep mplayer
mplayer-1.0-36_pre5.rhfc3.at
mplayer-fonts-1.0-6.at
mplayer-skins-1.0-pre3_12.at
mplayer-skin-mini-0.1-11.1.at
mplayerplug-in-3.05-1.1.fc3.rf

.at = axelthimms.repo
.rf = rpmforge.repo

I would definitely recommend forgetting yum/yumex and doing the
'smartpm' thing.
