- do a basic lenny installation - apt-get install vlc-nox - sed -i s,lenny,sid,g /etc/apt/sources.list - apt-get update -qq - apt-get dist-upgrade should show the problem ( i don't test it with chroot but by creating status and Packages files with the package universe needed as used by apt/test/integration/ as i don't want to test the actual installation, but the theory is the same ). As i tried to describe above APT rates the package which should be removed as too important - at least compared to the package it can fix with this remove, so if you see this error or not depends on the installed packages: With ffmpeg is the dependency chain strong enough to indicate that libavcodec51 has to leave, if you have only vlc-nox (which doesn't require ffmpeg) installed the chain isn't strong enough. Also, requesting a package explicitly with install will modify the scoring so you will likely get a different situation compared to a dist-upgrade. So, in summary: Its possible that no "normal" user will ever see this upgrade problem as such a user will likely have more packages installed which depend on these libav* stuff… (you only need to define what a "normal" user is now…) Best regards David Kalnischkies _______________________________________________ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
