That works as expected on my system. Thanks; nw I learned something.

What I do not understand however is that Yast is still unable to find a 'libxine' package - even though one is listed at the Packman web-site. And more confusing is that, even though Yast cannot find such a package, I now have a libxine package installed!

This sort of thing is terribly confusing and leads to doubt that one understands how the software installation works - resulting in a lingering sense of unease about the software configuration on the computer.


Now, all I have to do is figure out why I still get the 'search for a suitable codec' message when attempting to view WMV files -and that's where I started some weeks ago!
