Need to get 69.4 MB of archives.
After this operation, 277 MB of additional disk space will be used.

Extra 277MB of junk, really?  Is stuff like ODBC or mysql really useful for
playing video files?

I'm not sure what codecs I actually need (I don't know the tangle of
mpeg/etc subformats), thus I don't know whether sticking to just -good would
be acceptable, but at least a hard direct dependency comes via
libfarstream-0.2-5 that would remove some programs I do use.


Meow!
