Hi, Paul.  Yes, I know, I read the thread, but it's yet another hassle that I 
could do without right now.  I'm a little peeved that a 'yum update' on 
Wednesday broke xine, and here we are, going into a holiday weekend without 
it being fixed.  OK, rant over.  I'll change the repo settings in the morning 
and get it sorted.

Thanks for answering.
