I think libmpeg2 and libmpeg3 are two distinct packages (2 and 3 are |
31 |
the mpeg version and part of the library name, not the package |
32 |
version) |

and yes, those probably don't need to be there UNLESS you are a |
35 |
developer and use them -- but if you only want libs that are required |
36 |
by installed programs, then you most likely shouldn't have them in |
37 |
world. |
