It's what made me start playing around with libdvbpsi. I tried reverting back to v0.2.2 which caused no problems six months ago with VLC-2.0.3. But now, with VLC-2.0.5, neither version helped my problem. Only ditching libdvbpsi completely did. I also could not install VLC-2.0.3 in this new BLFS system, but I forgot to note which version of libdvbpsi was installed at the time (probably 1.0.0).
