This disc does use css, KpackageKit, etc refers me to libdvdread4
which is already installed. 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs tells me 
to install  libdvdread4 and then it should work,
only it doesn't.
  Just for luck I tried 'sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2' and got the 
following:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
% sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package libdvdcss2 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package libdvdcss2 has no installation candidate

I suspect sabotage, I will do some further googling.
thanks all
