This may mean that you have | requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable | distribution that some required packages have not yet been created | or been moved out of Incoming. | | Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that | the package is simply not installable and a bug report against | that package should be filed. | The following information may help to resolve the situation: | | Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: | vdr-daemon: Depends: vdr (= 0.98-1) but it is not going to be installed | E: Sorry, broken packages But this fails.

But how should I enforce an update of kvdr then? I do not want to set direct dependency, since it is not a real dependency, but a conflict to an ancient version and an update of the application is appropriated. | Architecture: i386 | Filename: ./vdr_0.98-1_i386.deb | Size: 131648 | MD5sum: 5e9e88c91c39287c40ad57b23df51fd9 | Description: Video Disk Recorder for DVB-S cards, base package | Video Disk Recorder (VDR) is a digital sat-receiver program using | Linux and DVB-S technologies.
