[ snip: debian-multimedia, google, skype ] > To convert debian stable in testing, I fired following commands. > apt-get update > apt-get dist-upgrade For the record: If you want to set up a "testing" system starting from a "stable" installation CD then I would recommend to only install a minimal stable system (no graphical environment etc.), upgrade this minimal system carefully to testing (kernel, udev, dpkg, and apt first, the do an "upgrade", followed by a "dist-upgrade") and then install the rest of the system from testing. Your approach is asking for trouble. > But dist-upgrade failed with following error. > "E: Could not perform immediate configuration on > 'phonon-backend-vlc'. Please see man 5 apt.conf under > APT::Immediate-Configure for details. (2)" I think one or more of the following may help to untangle your system: - Comment out all third-party repositories and run "apt-get update" again (as Daniel has already suggested). - Add the usual lines for the stable repository ("squeeze") to your sources list and run "apt-get update". (There may be rare cases where a stable package needs to be installed temporarily to help break a dependency loop.) - Run "apt-get install -f", put its complete output on pastebin.com (or a similar site) and send us the link. - Also show us the output of: apt-cache policy phonon-backend-vlc libvlc5 libvlccore4 dpkg -l \*phonon\* | awk '/^[^D|+]/{print $2,$3}' -- Regards, | Florian | http://www.florian-kulzer.eu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
