Have you restarted lirc?

sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/lircd restart

- Is this what you mean by "All stable updates are mixed up"? i.e.,

No. I meant there is just one stable repository, although you see a lot of
different
directories in the html page.


- Is there any reason 0.8.3 shouldn't work for me?

It should work. This is what I have.

lirc-0.8.3-70_cvs20070827.fc6
lirc-devices-0.8-4.fc6.lcg
lirc-lib-0.8.3-70_cvs20070827.fc6
lirc-lib-devel-0.8.3-70_cvs20070827.fc6

What does

rpm -qa | grep lirc

return for you?
