[packman] VLC missing dependency (pulseaudio)

[Hartmut]

Why is uninstalling pulse not an option for you? My soundsystem is 
working fine with everything without pulse. Do not mix vlc and packman 
packages, the multimedia-part of linux-club is full of threads from 
those who did ...

Packman repository broken? Perhaps it's a problem with yum? I work with 
multimedia-packages from packman since years and it works best until now.
