Subject: Problem with Debian 6 LTS and vlc To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, August 13, 2014, 11:46 PM I have just tried to install vlc on this laptop. At first attempt, it kept prompting for the "disc number...", so I checked the /etc/apt/sources.list file, and found that it was not set up for LTS. So, I updated the /etc/apt/sources.list file, as (I believe) shown on the relevant wiki web page, and ran apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade, and that apparently included removal of about 3.6MB of something (it did not say what would be removed). But, now I can not install vlc. I get, in the error box (the error classification/description, can not be copied and pasted) " vlc: Depends: vlc-nox but it is not going to be installed Depends: libfribidi0 (>=0.19.2) but it is not installable Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>=1.2.10) but it is not installable Depends: libxcb-keysyms1 (>=0.3.6) but it is not installable Recommends: vlc-plugin-notify but it is not going to be installed Recommends: vlc-plugin-pulse but it is not going to be installed " Is vlc no longer installable, on Debian 6? --------------------------------------------------- I have vlc running on squeeze LTS. Looks like it comes from Debian multimedia packages maintainers <[email protected]> so you'll likely have to add the http://www.deb-multimedia.org oldstable main repo to your sources list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
