And I missed the point because I missed the '.rpm' at the end of the package name above (i.e. I thought you were querying an installed package, not the rpm file) - sorry about that. But the reason for my temporary blindness is that I wasn't suspecting a trivial packaging bug. By "really necessary" I meant (and I realize that that's not at all obvious) whether the capability that, say samba-common provides, should really be compiled in mplayer. Or, in the case of mencoder, which, unlike samba-*, is also an RPM Fusion package, whether the needed libraries could be separated from mencoder and both mplayer and mencoder be made dependent on a new package that contains those libs. In other words, my question is not about whether mplayer really depends on those other packages, but whether it should depend on them. And I still think that downloading the rpm file will not answer this. (I may very well be wrong, of course.) Browsing mplayerhq.hu may. Or asking about it here.
