Bug#1059068: apt: fails to resolve dependencies
Package: apt Version: 2.7.7 Severity: normal I'm currently upgrading a stable machine to unstable (except some buggy packages), which is mostly done, but apt fails to resolve dependencies in order to upgrade vlc (aptitude is worse): qaa:~> apt install -s vlc [...] The following packages have unmet dependencies: vlc-plugin-base : Depends: libavcodec60 (>= 7:6.0) Depends: libavformat60 (>= 7:6.0) vlc-plugin-video-output : Depends: libavcodec60 (>= 7:6.0) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
