[packman] [PM] vlc 0.9.1-0.pm.2 (openSUSE 11.0/i586)

[Lee Matheson]

Further to my previous post, I notice this thread on the vlc forum:
http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=49896
which may be related.  If so, then this is a vlc bug.  In that thread
they note the bug should be fixed in the 0.9-bugfix branch.

Thanks for your efforts in packaging vlc.
