1-click installation as well as manual installation of libxine1 and libxine1- codecs on openSUSE 11.1 triggers a conflict dialog these days regarding architecture change from i586 -> i686, or in some cases yast/zypp seems to just keep the official crippled libxine1 1.1.15 without asking as a "solution" to the "problem".
This makes 1-click multimedia installs pretty useless/scary for n00bs and non- techies, and even manual installation of these crucial packages is a bit tricky for n00bs. I consider this a serious problem. While the solver being too damn sensitive is prolly the core reason for this particular problem - I wonder if you guys could fix it somehow - for example by simply dropping i686 versions for the codec stuff. Is there really any good reason to have those at all?
