Fixed. Thanks!

Something for Dries. His perl packages are a work in progress, so there's 
a constant state of unresolvable dependencies (albeit the longer the more 
obscure perl modules :-))

Bad luck. We don't build everything for every distribution. In this case 
the only solution is to upgrade xorg, and this goes beyond our goals. So 
we drop libXvMCW support.

Similar. If some library requires a newer core library, we drop support 
for the library. If you require libtheora, upgrade is what you should do.
However, we do build multimedia stuff without libtheora requirements for 
those dists that do not have a libtheora. So its lack is not blocking 
other packages.

The fix is to run autoreconf --force --install --symlink, thanks for 
reporting!

Actually, we have that requirement. See:

	%{!?_without_freedesktop:BuildRequires: desktop-file-utils}

And at the top we are defining this:

	%{?dist: %{expand: %%define %dist 1}}

	%{?rh7:%define _without_freedesktop 1}
	%{?el2:%define _without_freedesktop 1}

Normally the dependency should be there.

Anyway, your mail fixed another set of hidden problems. You're doing 
very useful work!
