[packman] mjpegtools conflicts on SUSE Linux OSS 10.0

[Andreas Simon]

Hi,

first thank you for the many packages you offer in your repository, your hard 
work is much appreciated.

Packman offers a newer version of mjpegtools for SUSE 10.0 (I use the apt repo 
at ftp://ftp4.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/10.0-i386/RPMS.packman). But 
it's not possible to install this package without loosing a lot of other 
multimedia apps and libs. Especially gstreamer-plugins-* is usually something 
you don't want to loose. Is that intended?

# apt-get install -V mjpegtools

Another minor issue, according to http://packman.links2linux.de/?action=154
the packman version of mjpegtools contains mpeg-tools with support for 
Video-CDs with VideoDVD-Rip which the SUSE version doesn't. Wouldn't it be 
nice to mention this difference in the package description? Currently the 
package description of the packman and the SUSE version are identical with 
the exeption of a single comma.


Cheers,
Andreas
