Hi,
I have mplayer & mencoder installed from debian-multimedia [1].
When I checked Aptitude's internal database using
aptitude install -fsD
I get
The following packages are BROKEN:
mencoder (C: mencoder-k6) mplayer (C: mplayer-k6)
sysvinit (P: file-rc, P: sysv-rc, P: sysvinit-utils)
The following packages will be automatically REMOVED:
file-rc
The following NEW packages will be installed:
... mencoder-k6 mplayer-doc mplayer-k6 ...
But mplayer-k6 is only a dummy package, and
it conflicts with mplayer [2].
Why aptitude still wants to install such packages?
Why aptitude wants to remove my essential file-rc package?
Aptitude actually reports more than above [3]. I only list
packages that I know well.
thanks
