[packman] [PM] kdenlive 0.6.0 (openSUSE 10.3/i586) and [PM] ffmpeg 0.4.9 (openSUSE 10.3/i586)

[Lee Matheson]

Thanks Toni,

I updated mlt, mlt++, and kdenlive on both my openSUSE-10.3 and 11.0 
PCs, with the latest Packman updates:

oldcpu at stonenhenge:~> rpm -q kdenlive mlt mlt++ libffmpeg0
kdenlive-0.6.0-1791.pm.svn20080105_2
mlt-0.2.4-0.pm.4
mlt++-0.2.2-0.pm.9
libffmpeg0-0.4.9-11.pm.svn20080617

I then ran kdelive on both openSUSE version 10.3 (KDE-3.5.7) and 11.0 
(KDE-3.5.9), and it started fine.  It appears fixed.

I've asked other's who noticed this error (on 
http://forums.opensuse.org) to test their kdelive for any other possible 
affects.

Once again, many many thanks for your quick turn around and a very 
timely fix.  I typically spend a lot of time in front of my PC running 
kdenlive, so its an app that is 'dear to my heart'.
