Before I start let me say that I searched around for this, I wouldn't be here otherwise
The problem
While trying to upgrade fedora I used this command
rpm -Uhv ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/12/Fedora/i386/os/Packages/fedora-release-12-1.noarch.rpm
to switch repos to install, only to find out later that I don't have wget installed (live version running) I then proceeded with yum install but any yum install I tried returns this:
totem-gstreamer-2.24.3-3.fc10.i386 from installed has depsolving problems
--> Missing Dependency: totem = 2.24.3 is needed by package totem-gstreamer-2.24.3-3.fc10.i386 (installed)

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
What I've tried so far
curl "http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x855099B249C8885A" | rpm --import --verbose -rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db
rpm --rebuilddb
None seem to do anything, how can I restore the default rpm and get on with work? I don't have GUI access to this sytem, only command line, but downtime is not an issue
