Dumb question about xine

Hello SuSE people,

The dumb question is xine is a stand-alone package, right? I think it is
installed but when I do a rpm query on it, the reply is that it is not
installed. Yet with a locate xine, there are about a gazillion files listed
so something is there.

I then use apt to try and install xine. I get a message that there are two
files xine-lib and libxine1 and I must choose one. Apparently they are
mutually exclusive. If I choose one the other is uninstalled and vice versa.
I presently have lib-xine installed. There does not appear to be a stand-alone
xine package. ????? Is this right?

The reason for this question is that I cannot open a DVD movie with xine and
if I try to use Kaffeine it complains that I do not have the proper codecs.
Now, I do have every codec known to man AND libdvdcss installed. I can
however, navigate to the vob file and Kaffeine plays it properly.

This used to work very nicely in 9.2. Since my "upgrade" to 10.0 it does not.
Help me understand/fix this please?

Bob S.
