Description
Attempting to update to libvpx-1.61-1.oc00 (i686) results in this error,
[u'ERROR with transaction check vs depsolve:', 'libvpx2.dll is needed by (installed) ffmpeg-libs-2.8.6-2.oc)).i686', u'Please report this error at http://yumbaseurl.org/report']
as libvpx-1.61-1 contains libvpx4.dll.

I used wget to download libvpx-1.6.1-1.oc00.i686.rpm and libvpx-devel-1.6.1-1.oc00.i686.rpm, installed to my local repository and then used ANPN 1.1 to upgrade by right-clicking on libvpx-devel and choosing upgrade, ANPM gave me a list with the regular libvpx and devel that needed downloading, I clicked yes and got the error that I quoted above. I then removed the ffmpeg-libs and successfully upgraded.
Now reinstalling both the main and devel packages with yum reinstall libvpx-[-devel] re-installs with no mention of the legacy package.
Doing yum install ffmpeg, libvpx-legacy-2 is in the list of dependencies. Note I previously only had the ffmpeg libs installed.

So this explains why it failed for you — libvpx-legacy-2 (that provides libvpx2.dll needed by ffmpeg[-libs]) was missing and ANMP (yum) did nothing about a replacement for libvpx that would give it libvpx2.dll. This scenario is certainly not supported, neither by yum nor by our RPM packages. You could download all related sub-packages to solve this problem but that may be tricky sometimes as all related sub-packages don't always carry the same base name (there are cases like XXX and libXXX built from one .spec).
Anyway, not a bug.

Actually the bug is that just updating the devel package doesn't try to download the legacy package. Trying on a different install, upgrading libvpx fails due to missing dependency of the legacy package.
Quite a few times previously I've also correctly had install/upgrade failures when a dependency was missing.
Years ago (with Debian) I got into the habit of going straight to installing the developer package just so I could see all the dependencies.

Sorry, I can't confirm what you write. I just tried it again to be double sure: I reverted libvpx and libvpx-devel back to 1.4.0-2 (no legacy no nothing, but with ffmpeg-libs that depend on 1.4.0 runtime). Then all three runs of yum update, yum update libvpx and yum update libvpx-devel gave me exactly the same result: offered to install 3 packages (libvpx and libvpx-devel 1.6.1 and libvpx-legacy-2 — all in one go, i.e. through the dependency check). I let the latter one run and the install well successfully, no broken dependencies. So it must be your local setup.
Please give me the exact command you are trying to execute with the full output. This must not happen as 1.6.1 RPMs provide a package
libvpx-legacy-2which containslibvpx2.dlland is marked as a replacement forlibvpx <= 1.4.0. I haveffmpeg-libshere installed as well and updating libvpx from 1.4.0 to 1.6.1 works smoothly with yum. Are you callingrpm -Udirectly?
