Hi Regis -

I did a bit more poking and confirmed that my system already has the two 
libraries installed.  

==============
$ rpm -qa | grep libkc
libkcompactdisc-4.14.2-1.fc20.x86_64
libkcddb-4.14.2-1.fc20.x86_64
$
==============

I went to the RedHat bugzilla site and found no open bugs on Tellico.  Filing 
a new bug report requires getting Yet Another Website Account.  I already have 
hundreds of them.  I'm not going to get another just for this.

CDDB is not worth the effort.  It has more bad data than good.  Even when it 
was working, I found that I had to correct much of what Tellico grabbed, and I 
had to add much that is not even in CDDB.

Perhaps the next package revision will have it fixed.

Thanks - Bill Gee
