   Hi   
   A bad move.... there have been recent changes on the multimedia side   
   and should let the gstreamer packages change, the number of packages   
   look familiar (15~16 problems).   
      
   As Tumbleweed users it would behoove you to add openSUSE Factory and   
   Packman Mailing lists to nntp (I use gmane)....
