Where do you take your wisdom from?

It freshrpms.net I see a libdca package that removes the shared
libdts.so.0 offered by Livna and replaces it with static-only
libraries. This breaks compatibility, because
libdca-0.0.2-4.fc7.x86_64.rpm from freshrpms is seen as an update to
libdca-0.0.2-3.lvn7.x86_64.rpm -- any program that requires the shared
libdts.so.0 will be broken.

That would be wrong in this case. Action is needed to fix this.

Updates for what? Livna's libdca from end of last years provides the
needed libraries.
