ok so i have recently upgraded about 4 systems and kept having problems due to broken packages every time i went aptitude install puredyne there was always some problem. puredyne is a metapackage which points to lots of other packages that makes puredyne puredyne. if one of these has broken dependencies then it wont install properly - when i tried it yesterday - 3 packages had broken dependencies qsampler transcode and puredyne-processing. i couldnt figure out how to force puredynt just to ignore these broken dependencies and do the best job it could. as a work around i just did an aptitude install on all the packages except the broken ones
you can see what packages are in puredyne by typing aptitude show puredyne i added all the packages listed here after aptitude install long list here making sure to remove the three broken packages from the list a attached a little script to this email which installs all the packages in the puredyne metapackage you can remove any broken packages if you are having problems and at least you will have 99% of puredyne its a hack but maybe will get you out of a hole until we figure out a better way of dealing with this problem of broken packages in debian testing claude suggested a stable puredyne metapackage? how about that? hope this helps rob -------------- [email protected] rob.goto10.org --------------
