Hi, there are plugins that require xine-lib-compat-plugins, but they are all from the same source package and should be removed as well. Besides, there is no frontend in the distribution anymore that requires that plugins. They are obsolete as they are incompatible with the current xine frontends as everything is based on libxine1 these days. There's no conflict between the old and the new xine but the one between libxine0-devel and libxine1-devel. We usually don't fix that conflicts unless these two should stay in the distribution.

No, that's not the solution. The right thing would be to remove xine-lib-compat, as it's obsolete. I tried that but I don't have the right permissions for the rpmctl command on main. This is exactly what I wanted someone besides me (ideally the package maintainers) to look at each one of the problems: I was pretty sure I'd be wrong about some of them (and a few, as I mentioned, I had no idea what needed to be done). However, some of the plugins still require xine-lib-compat-plugins. I haven't checked, so maybe all of the affected plugins are PLF-only, but they include pretty important things (like the divx4 codec). Maybe these all just need to be recompiled against xine-plugins, but it would be good to know that (and know that it was going to be done) before getting rid of the compat libs. Also, kxine and sinek require the compat libs. Since neither of these is in Cooker, maybe someone's decided they're no longer useful enough to update. If that's true, for people upgrading from 9.1 to Cooker (or 9.2), would it be useful to have xine-plugins explictly Conflict them (= their last version)?
