xmms version is 1.2.10; libvorbis0 shows (in dpkg -s libvorbis0) as
"installed ok".
So, after sending off this email and before receiving responses I moved to
Sid (as I understand it, it meant replacing stable with unstable in
sources.list) - I then tried apt-get install libvorbisfile3 and got a slew
of messages:
=========
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. 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:
kde: Depends: kdebase-audiolibs but it is not going to be installed or
kdebase3-audiolibs but it is not installable
E: Sorry, broken packages
=========
How to proceed?
Thanks!
