+Ok, got it.  I had installed vlc before enabling tainted.

+With libxine1, though it's strange. The log shows I ran
+urpmi: called with: -a --fuzzy xine-
+which installed libxine1-1.1.19-4.mga1.tainted.i586.
+
+When I ran the auto-select it installed
+libxine1-1.1.19-5.mga1.i586 from Core, replacing the tainted version.
+
+That makes sense as 19-5 is greater than 19-4.  I don't understand
+is why the first urpmi command didn't select the 19-5 version, while
+the update did.
+
+Also why they aren't both 19-5.
