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.
