Hi BJaY.  On my new install of FC4, with the planetccrma repo's, I see the 
"fox" and "fox-devel" packages are both version 1.2.11-1.rhfc4.ccrma, and the 
"Alsaplayer" and "Alsaplayer-devel" ones, are both 0.99.76-1.rhfc4.ccrma.

I think what I would do, is to comment out all repos in /etc/apt/sources.list, 
apart from the planetccrma ones. Then run apt-get update, and check in 
synaptic the versions available for both packages, for Fox and Alsaplayer. 
Hopefully the available packages versions for both Alsaplayer and 
Alsaplayer-devel will match, and the same for Fox. The installed package for 
both should show different versions. Remove the alsaplayer package with 
synaptic, then re-install the alsaplayer-devel package which will also pick 
up the alsaplayer one.  Same thing with the Fox packages.

Before you go ahead and do this. Look in /var/cache/apt/archives using the 
superuser file manager, and look for the "alsaplayer" and "fox" packages, and 
delete them as they are later versions, and apt will probably try to 
reinstall them again, and you'll again get a dependency failure when trying 
to install the devel packages.

Hope this might solve the problem. Nigel.
