Unmet Multimedia Dependencies on LMDE RC?

[Carl]

I think I read something about this being caused by some packages being updated in update pack 2 and others not being updated until update pack3?

as I've been getting a number of problems like this

Code: Select all

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 xbmc : Depends: xbmc-bin (>= 10.1-0.7) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: xbmc-data (>= 10.1-0.7) but it is not going to be installed
        Depends: xbmc-skin-confluence (>= 10.1-0.7) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

so i think you are right (assuming you are following latest), not all the deps are available atm, they will be with update-pack3

I just installed it from the repo so it must have something to do with that

[zerozero]

probably they use the same approach google uses with chrome/ium, adding the repo to sources.list/d when you install the pkg;

as for the first question, yes you are in latest, so must be that sync question
