What can I replace totem with that will work?

I'm plumb out of patience with its I can't play this messages that do
not tell you what it can't play.

Try enabling the livna repository and installing vlc.  It will play
about anything you throw at it.

My current theory is that while rpm thinks there is a java installed,
all the /usr/lib/java* subdirs are empty.

So I truck meself off the the Sun site and dl
jdk-1_5_0_10-linux.rpm.bin, the very latest, shinyest version there.
But would you believe it was packed with rpm-4.0.4?  And it gives the
current 4.4.2, a segfault tummy ache.  Repeatedly.

And now my rpm database appears to be hosed, even an rpm --rebuilddb seems
to be hung in sleep state, no cpu usage and if I want to kill it, I'll
have to do a SIGKILL on it from htop.  But, in the FWIW category, before
I started that, it reported there was no java installed, without any
errors.

Now what the heck do I do?

Usually, you delete /var/lib/rpm/__db.* and then rpm --rebuilddb.



So now I'm back to get the other package to see what falls out of the
regular linux.bin file.


Ok, that unpacked, now where can I find a .spec file so that I can pack
it with the newer rpm & then install it?  Or is that not the correct
procedure now?
