Public bug reported:
Since the Maverick update I have been unable to install mplayer-gui or
even gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad because they both depend on the
libdirectfb-1.2-0 package.
I actually can install the libdirectfb-1.2-0 package, but this requires
removing libdirectfb-1.2-9 which in turn, removes the dependent packages
of that such as gimp and gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse.
Therefore I can either have libdirectfb-1.2-0, for mplayer-gui and
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad - or - libdirectfb-1.2-9, for gimp and
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse.
libdirectfb-1.2-9 is listed as "conflicts" libdirectfb-1.2-0, but
weirdly, libdirectfb-1.2-9 is listed as a "dependent package" of
libdirectfb-1.2-0 which it shouldn't be - libdirectfb-1.2-0 is only
listed in libdirectfb-1.2-9 as a conflicting package, not a dependency.
Hope I didn't make that all too confusing.
