	If, as is frequently the case, the dependencies are wrong
or don't apply, then I'll use --nodeps, thank you very much, 
especially if I'm just trying to build the blasted thing on my home
computer so I can play DVDs. I've just spent five frustrating hours
trying to get this bloody GNOME DB package to compile, so don't tell
me about configuration control. This stuff's so complicated now I'm
surprised anyone can get it right.

	Then you'd be wrong. There's a separate RPM, which, BTW,
is now available. I'd suggest that the original poster use that to
rebuild his libdvdcss now, and remove the old one if it's there.
