Bug#681136: libavcodec-extra-53: Cannot install libavcodec-extra-53 without losing kde

Do you have packages from other repositories installed? The problem appears to have been that I had not succeeded in removing all Marillat's packages, despite trying to make sure I had before reporting the bug. In particular, I still had vlc packages installed which were preventing phonon-backend-vlc from upgrading. After reinstalling all the vlc (and xine) related packages I was able to install libavcodec-extra-53. I still think it would have been easier if libavcodec-extra-53 had either Provides: libavcodec53 or, even better, really was just extras without replacing libavcodec53 at all. However, I am sure you have good reasons for this packaging. ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
Bug#681136: libavcodec-extra-53: Cannot install libavcodec-extra-53 without losing kde
Package: libavcodec-extra-53 Version: 6:0.8.3-4 Severity: important I attempted to follow the instructions on http://wiki.debian.org/MultimediaCodecs to install libavcodec-extra-53, however I get the following error from apt-get: 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. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kde-workspace-dbg : Depends: kde-runtime-dbg but it is not going to be installed libsmokekparts3 : Depends: libsmokekio3 (= 4:4.8.4-1) but it is not going to be installed plasma-widgets-workspace : Depends: plasma-dataengines-workspace (= 4:4.8.4-3) but it is not going to be installed polkit-kde-1 : Depends: kdebase-runtime but it is not going to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. If I try: apt-get install libavcodec-extra-53 libavcodec53- apt-get tries to remove the whole of kde. I speculate that some kde package has a dependency on libavcodec53. Should libavcodec-extra-53 provide libavcodec53? -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_IE@euro, LC_CTYPE=en_IE@euro (charmap=ISO-8859-15) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_IE@euro) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
