Digging around I discovered that several xine files were available for
update, including xine-plugin.i386.  I tried to install it, but kept 
running into the same error: " Metadata file does not match checksum."
This occurred at fedora.omnispring.com, and at 12 other mirror
sites, including Gatech, Duke, usc, and iweb.ca, among others. I killed
the effort as pointless.

I remain clueless in Oak Grove.
