Well, Reinhard, with a "slap in the face" kind of response like that, I'm
inclined to denigrate your intelligence and your breeding. But instead, let
me suggest that you try using "dpkg -p vlc" to actually inspect the displayed
"version" of the debian vlc package, on the line that begins with "Version":
$ dpkg -p vlc
Package: vlc
Priority: optional
Section: video
Installed-Size: 3439
Maintainer: Christian Marillat <maril...@debian.org>
Bugs: mailto:maril...@debian.org
Architecture: i386
Source: vlc-dmo
Version: 1:1.1.13-0.0
Replaces: vlc-nox (<< 1.1.5-1)
Provides: mp3-decoder
Depends: ...
...
Similarly, "dpkg -l vlc" shows:
...
ii vlc 1:1.1.13-0.0 multimedia player and streamer
It may be informative to go to
http://packages.debian.org/wheezy/vlc
and note that the package is listed as
Package: vlc (1.1.13-1 and others)
noticing the similarity in "version" numbers.
Reinhard, if you don't know what to do about the problem, then let someone
more qualified handle it, instead of just "closing the bug".
In the meantime, synaptic, aptitude, and apt-get, still insist upon
"upgrading" from version 2 to version 1. For instance, "aptitude upgrade"
gives:
...
Get: 3 http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ wheezy/main vlc i386
1:1.1.13-0.0 [1,392 kB]
...
Preparing to replace vlc 2.0.0-1 (using
.../vlc_1%3a1.1.13-0.0_i386.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement vlc ...
...
Is there a problem with the vlc package "version" numbers? In the old
version? In the new version?
