Troy,

Thank you for looking into this.  I noticed this while upgrading
somebody else's desktop - it had SL4.4 with both k3b and k3b-mp3
installed, and the update to 4.8 went fine except for this small bump,
which I got over by uninstalling k3b-mp3.  Afterwards I tried to
re-install k3b-mp3, naively trying to keep the system as close to
original as possible.  This issue is of no concern to me, nor would I
expect the users to care even if some mp3-related functionality was
lost.  I don't even know how I would verify that there is no lost
functionality.  I barely even know what an mp3 is.  :-)   It seemed like
a small problem with the distro, so I thought I'd ask.

I'm sorry I can't verify that the k3b-mp3 package is extraneous - I'll
take your word for it.

-Wayne
