Very good example!
bor@cooker% rpm -q urpmi
urpmi-3.1-7mdk
bor@cooker% sudo urpmi --auto-select

So what we have is
- new XFree86 packages does not provide these libraries any more
- there is an extra package that does it:
bor@cooker% urpmf libXv.so
XFree86-compat-libs:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXv.so.1
XFree86-compat-libs:/usr/X11R6/lib/libXv.so.1.0
- but urpmi does not even try to use it.
That is really nasty and has always been. Is it even possible (i.e. does
urpmi has enough information)? Ideally urpmi should build minimal
closure on require/provides.
