Hi, since #669278: "Could not perform immediate configuration on 'phonon-backend-vlc'" was not fixable by removing the libqt4-dbus circular dependency, I'm suggesting again the re-introduction of phonon-backend-xine as a transitional package depending on phonon-backend-vlc. I tested some of the packages that are currently failing the squeeze2wheezy piuparts test with the above error and all upgrades went smooth once phonon-backend-xine was available again. If this gets approved, I'll prepare a NMU and look for a sponsor. Andreas
