Hi,

There are dependency issues for most of media players you offer in PackMan
repository for Factory.

In factory there was version bump for libass:

# LANG=C zypper in smplayer2
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
Resolving package dependencies...
2 Problems:
Problem: nothing provides libass.so.4()(64bit) needed by
mplayer2-20130427-3.14.x86_64
Problem: nothing provides libass.so.4()(64bit) needed by
mplayer2-20130427-3.14.x86_64

Problem: nothing provides libass.so.4()(64bit) needed by
mplayer2-20130427-3.14.x86_64
  Solution 1: do not install mplayer2-20130427-3.14.x86_64
  Solution 2: break mplayer2-20130427-3.14.x86_64 by ignoring some of its
  dependencies

Choose from above solutions by number or skip, retry or cancel [1/2/s/r/c]
(c):


It doesn't seem to be big issue (API/ABI seems to be similar enough), but the
problem seems to be elsewhere anyway... MPlayer has been already built against
new libass5, but repository haven't been updated yet...

What is going on? Can I help somehow?
