I have the "no entry" symbol, following an attempted
upgrade of DVD CSS decoder, screentop right.
Broken dependencies appears to be the problem,
some folders are devoid of content, or will not
display.
Is there an alternative to a reload of 10.04,
please, update does not work now.
Was attempting to load Medibuntu when it all went
wrong.
Have updated my current problem with bug report
912320, still pending.
Any suggestions please ?
Thanks, Michael
From a terminal run the following:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude upgrade
sudo aptitude -f
which should bring your system up to date and clear any
broken dependencies or give some useful output that you
can then paste here.

I get for -f E:Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known in line
1 in source list
/etc/apt/sources list.d/medibuntu list
Hope I have typed it right, medibuntu appears to be the
cause of the problem, thanks, Michael
You can do one of two things here - either edit the file manually -
lines in there should have either deb, deb-src or # at the beginning
- nothing else. It's likely that the whole thing is wrong.
The other option is to remove that file and redo the procedure to
add medibuntu - either run nautilus as root - gksudo nautilus
/etc/apt/sources.list.d
and remove the file from there or do it from the command line - sudo
rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
Then re acquire the medibuntu repos using the command here -

Michael writes,Thanks, sudo rm /etc......has restored my 10.04 to normal after
a restart, I'll resist a reload of medibuntu for now as I can do region "0"
copies of all DVD's.It is interesting to see how one file error can cause so
many problems to a release, please accept my thanks, all who helped, rest
assured that Medibuntu isa well tried and tested DVD CSS decoding program,
just needs to be typed in correctly.
