These issues should be resolved later today.
This continues to be a problem today, now apt wants to remove gstreamer1.0-plugins-good for no good reason. Specifying `ubuntu-desktop gstreamer1.0-plugins-good` as the argument to `dist-upgrade` / `full-upgrade` should probably get you sorted out. I kept a solver dump to see how to improve that. I anticipate this can be solved by simply adding Conflicts: libfoo1, ... for each pre-t64 libfoo1 that gstreamer1.0-plugins-good uses - the way the solver works is it scores packages, and this should give the pre-t64 libraries less favourable scores vs the package we want to keep. Of course we can quirk this fine in ubuntu-release-upgrader for people upgrading to noble, but it's always good to know your options (and Debian will probably have to do some Conflict quirking anyway). -- debian developer - deb.li/jak | jak-linux.org - free software dev ubuntu core developer i speak de, en -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
