Re: Probelm with synaptic
What do you mean by unusable? Can you describe it or post a screenshot?
You may try:
And then:
To get out of a bad situation if it is complaining about broken packages.
You may try:

Re: Probelm with synaptic
It may sound like a dumb question, but have you actually selected something to install/remove/change etc. The button is unavailable if there are no changes marked.
NB. You posted at the same time as me. You have an "Upgradeable" package shown, but you need to mark it for ugrade.

OK, then back to Vincent's suggestion:
Close synaptic and, in a terminal:

Re: Probelm with synaptic
Vincent & Rocken,

screen shot 1 tells me that mplayer has been kept to the actual version and not upgraded
screen shot 2 and 3 tell that there R damaged packages, but cannot repair.

You don't need to build libasound - an up to date copy is available in the repository. Do you, by any chance, have your repositories set up to track stable only (the later libasound and libpulse are in testing)

Try adding something like this to your sources list

Re: Probelm with synaptic
Hi twa,
like i described it in this thread
http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=141&t=79533
you can add sources if there are missing packages. In this case
then
after this operation disable the debian testing sources with # in front of the two lines.
Your problem tells me, i'll have to revise the above thread a little bit

Re: Probelm with synaptic
i believe was secipola how first mentioned this possibility (and since then i have refer to it a few times): -what happened here is caused by using the latest/incoming update-packs (which are frozen snapshots of the main debian repo) and tracking directly debian-multimedia.
one day debian-multimedia would update a pkg, with a lib v. recommend still not available in the frozen pack.
now how to solve this:
- wait until the next update-pack, main debian will be put up-to-date and the unsolved dependencies, solved (this waiting has the advantage, imho, of not messing with the sources.list - if one picked latest, is seeking some stability, not jumping forward and back in the sources.list will keep the system stable)
- if really annoys you to have a hold pkg for a few days/weeks, make a quick jump to testing and solve it;
- in the long run, debian-multimedia should be also mirrored in the update-packs

Re: Probelm with synaptic
Hi everyone,
many thanks for your help.
since I picked latest, am seeking some stability. Will follow zerozero suggestion and wait till debian-multimedia is also mirrored in the update-packs.
thank U again.
