Hm - well, _I_ never do that, and I rather doubt that yum did, either, but I suppose that would depend on what's in libdvdcss. I find it hard to believe that it wasn't something else more subtle with k3b, but, again, who knows?
Mark: If you trace it back to the libdvdcss package from rpmforge, notify them about it. Strange that it works OK for you at home and you hosed your Workstation at work, but that's Murphy's Law. Good luck getting it working! Possibly try this again, under VMWare, when you are relaxed and want to see if it can be recreated. Lanny
1) I did ask on the rpmforge list. Waiting to hear back from there, too.
2) I am just now beginning to really appreciate virtualization. Still, past experience told me this would not be a problem. I guess that would best be described as naive....
