<font size="+1"><font face="URW Bookman L">I had no difficulty getting
YAST to download and install the vlc player on SuSE 11.2.</font></font><font
size="+1"><font face="URW Bookman L"> I used the player to view my
collection of video DVDs, and was <i>completely</i> satisfied in every
way. (A wonderful player!)</font></font><font size="+1"><font
face="URW Bookman L"> <br>
Recently, I made a completely clean upgrade to SuSE 11.3. <br>
Now, when I get YAST to download and install the vlc player </font></font><font
size="+1"><font face="URW Bookman L">[the current RPM (1.1.4) from the
videolan web-site</font></font><font size="+1"><font
face="URW Bookman L">], the download proceeds quite normally EXCEPT
that the vlc-noX download fails, with a checksum error. I have re-tried
three or four times over the past ten days or so, and the result is <i>always</i>
the same. Everything downloads and is installed properly by YAST <i>except</i>
for vlc-noX. (Other programs I have downloaded and installed with YAST
have been faultless.)<br>
I have had YAST download and install countless programs (RPMs) over
many years, and have <i>never</i> had a failure. And, no, I have made <i>no</i>
changes to my ordinary, vanilla, Linux box during the past three or
four years.<br>
Surely this problem must be due to an error in the data on the videolan
web-site. What can<i> I</i> do? It is very disappointing -- SuSE 11.3
is a vast improvement over 11.2; everything is working smoothly, except
that I can't view my DVDs!<br>
I'd appreciate some help, <br>
John<br>
PS It may be helpful for you to know that I first used a digital
computer 55 years ago.<br>
