mplayer, libcaca, libcucul problems on Fedora 9

Once in a time, may be you have problem with updating your Fedora 9. The error message usually like this :

libcucul.so.0 is needed by package mplayer-1.0-0.100.20090204svn.fc9.i386 : Success - empty transaction

To solve these problems, follow these steps :

1. Erase mplayer :
[root@lenovo ~]# yum erase mplayer

2. Download new packet of libcaca
[root@lenovo ~]# wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/i386/os/Packages/libcaca-0.99-0.4.beta11.fc9.i386.rpm

3. Erase libcaca on your Fedora
[root@lenovo ~]# rpm -e libcaca

4. Install new packet of libcaca, not by YUM, but with RPM
[root@lenovo ~]# rpm -ivh libcaca-0.99-0.4.beta11.fc9.i386.rpm

5. Install new mplayer with YUM
[root@lenovo ~]# yum install mplayer

I have found and tested this method after I have compared with many techniques from many web sites, include blogs. I hope this method usefull for you all. Thanks.
