LMDE BREAKAGES - tracking TESTING

i believe tzunder's problems is the same as

(for better clarification, what repo are you tracking tzunder?

as of now my upgrade output is

I wonder if "My Ouput Part II" is going to be released to the public soon.

i always (almost) say Y

Or maybe you are using a different server. (I use the Main server).

My sources.list says it's this one:

http://ftp.debian.org/debian

[grizzler]

handbrake-gtk : Depends: libnotify4 (>= 0.7.3) but it is not installable
mencoder : Depends: libasound2 (> 1.0.24.1)

Available in the testing repository (incoming and latest still have an earlier version).

dvdrip : Depends: transcode (>= 2:1.0.2-0. but it is not going to be installed
Depends: ffmpeg but it is not going to be installed

Both in the multimedia repo.

Where did you get handbrake-gtk from? It's in the multimedia repo, but the version for testing uses libnotify1 and doesn't require libnotify4. That's only a dependency for the sid/unstable package.

Similar thing for mencoder. The testing version doesn't require libasound2 > 1.0.24.1 but the unstable one does.

Can anyone confirm the 201108 respin still has the multimedia testing repo in sources.list and not unstable?

[zerozero]

the default 201108 has debian-multimedia testing in the repo, what the users do after is another question

[grizzler]

Indeed. Like break things and then wonder why they're broken...

[tzunder]

I know, dratted users eh?

My sources.list is as follows:

#Latest-safest
deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import
deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/latest testing main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main non-free

#Incoming-dangerous
#deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import backport romeo
#deb http://security.debian.org/ testing/updates main contrib non-free
#deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main non-free
#deb http://debian.linuxmint.com/incoming testing main contrib non-free

I haven't done anything else. The version number of handbrake-gtk is 0.9.5-0.6 according to synaptic, and it came from http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing/main



PS: So, am I tracking newer versions in debian-multimedia than in latest, thus breaking the dependencies? Thing is when I switch to testing, it also fails. I'll try and go direct to ftp.debian.org and see if that fixes it.

[zerozero]

tzunder, as i linked in my first post in this page, yes atm, debian-multimedia is out of sync with the latest/incoming repos;
this should be solved briefly with update-pack3 (and if you don't want to leave latest is just a matter of waiting a few days)

anyway, there's something i don't understand: in my xfce tracking latest i can confirm all the issues you pointed before, but in my gnome tracking testing all the pkg would install fine (the output is just a dry-run)

amadeu@amadeu ~ $ 

so when you say that in testing it also fails for you, did you dist-upgrade before?
anyway, i'll say it again, if this is not a mission critical issue, wait a few days and update-pack3 will sort it out, if it is change to testing, dist-upgrade and then install them;
it's your call

[tzunder]

Thanks. Changing to ftp.debian.org did fix it.
Now I know the nature of the problem I'll just relax when such things happen.
I was just concerned since I was setting up the machine again after a smxi/sgfxi distaster

[mads]

...Changing to ftp.debian.org did fix it...

Is it kosher to change back to debian.linuxmint.com after this?

[zerozero]

if you change now, the only real difference you'll notice is a very small update-pack3, afaik

[grizzler]

The version number of handbrake-gtk is 0.9.5-0.6 according to synaptic, and it came from http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing/main

Indeed. I was under the impression that the packages in a repository were supposed to be the same as the ones available from that same repository's website. Apparently not, as http://www.debian-multimedia.org/dists/ ... ke-gtk.php describes -and offers- an older version...

I got a new kernel in the updates this morning (3.0.0-3). When I installed it, I got the same dkms errors myself and other people encountered when we first got the 3.0.x branch of the kernel a few weeks ago.

Strangely, I have rebooted my computer already and it looks like everything is working ok. It booted right to GDM and allowed me to log into my xfce with no problem. If I come across any issues, I'll let you know.

[Gerd50]

The same here gavinhc. This time it seems not to be a problem with the dkms.conf error. I've updated this morning and
until now my system is working well.

[bakfietz]

Just installed new kernel. Same issue as the two gents above:

However, rebooted succesfully and no problems so far...

Silly question perhaps, but why does apt-get says it's gonna install linux-headers-3.0.0-1-amd64 when in fact it's version 3.0.0-3?

Regs.

Regs.

Linux versioning logic looks like it is devised using a monkey and a typewriter, but in fact it isn't. I did read about it once, but my eyes glazed over after a couple of minutes.

If you type

Code: Select all

uname -a 

into a terminal does it answer your question?

You see I am completely up to date with LMDE testing and I only have the 3.0.0.1 kernel (although it does mention 3.0.0.3 in brackets??)

Oh no there go my eyes again

Is it me or has the latest mintupdate borked something? I'm now regularly getting a "Repository not available" error (with an empty window that's supposed to list the unavailable repos), followed by "Failed to lock /var/lib/apt/lists. The only way out is to manually remove the lock (rm /var/lib/apt/lists/lock), but the problem soon comes back.

I've only noticed this since the most recent update to mintupdate and have, for now, disabled mintupdate.
