Problem with synaptic
Hi,
am running LMDE updated to pack 3 w-out any problem. Just discovered I'm not able to use synaptic. It opens, but the apply updated button is greyed out.
is there any reason for this ??

ahh foomatic yeahh now i get it
it's nothing wrong with your synaptic, if you run dist-upgrade, apt will tell a bit more, foomatic-db-engine is held-back: when UP3 was frozen not all the dep were met, so v. 4.0.8-2 can't be installed until UP4

Re: Problem with synaptic
Isn't the idea to have the LMDE repositories in a nice state? I think that foomatic-db-engine package should perhaps be replaced by the older version from Debian Stable (4.0.4-3), or would that cause other problems?
Re: Problem with synaptic
Why don't you add the debian testing repos to your sources.list, enable it temporarely and install the up to date version of
foomatic-db-engine?
foomatic-db-engine?
Re: Problem with synaptic
@Pepas, are you having any kind of issues with the available v. of foomatic-db-engine in latest? is your printer not working because the engine v. is old and you need a newer one? if is not broken, don't try to fix it!
Re: Problem with synaptic
zerozero,
U absolutely right !! I still have foomatic-db-engine at old version and my printer is working without any kind of issues.are you having any kind of issues with the available v. of foomatic-db-engine in latest? is your printer not working because the engine v. is old and you need a newer one? if is not broken, don't try to fix it!
Re: Problem with synaptic
Haven't noticed any problems with the 4.0.4-3 foomatic-db-engine. So why have 4.0.8-2 in the incoming repository when nobody can use it, is my point. Not having 4.0.8-2 means there is no message that it's held back, so nobody will be unnecessary alarmed.
