Never got this before on all the updates i have gotten since installing it...
Does this straighten out by itself? Or is there something i need to do?
Thanks

I think you might have misread the post (I'm writing "think" since I suppose I won't know for sure until the next set of updates gets announced)...craig10x wrote:wow...all that...thought there was an easier solution...does this mean that a broken package was sent down in the batch of updates and will it get fixed with the next set of updates? Would appreciate all input on this if others have also encountered this problem...
I was wondering if it would be best to just wait until the next set of updates come in...
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Well, that is easy, if you want to keep vlc don't install libva1 - this is what aptitude did for me and I am quite happy with that, the conflict will get fixed via another update soon enough. Of course if you don't want vlc then install libva1 which will remove it (for now). Personally I have no idea what libva1 does for me but I have a very good idea what vlc does so it is a pretty easy choice to make.not sure what to do
Of course, this is the same I've done. I mean if there's no way to make it works from mintupdate. Unmarking libva1 still throws the error... so when newer updates come (in other packages) we'll not be able to do the update from it...viking777 wrote:Well, that is easy, if you want to keep vlc don't install libva1 - this is what aptitude did for me and I am quite happy with that, the conflict will get fixed via another update soon enough.

And If I already went ahead with the update and got vlc removed I suppose I have to find it manually once there's a working updated version, right?zerozero wrote:Libva1 is a video acceleration library on which vlc depends, this update breaks vlc until v.1.1.5, so i expect in the next days a vlc update to fix this. Anyway the current vlc version in testing is quite old and this shows that things are moving.
Until a new vlc version shows in synaptic hold libva1 back

vlc depends on ffmpeg and updating the last is going to be a pain![]()
check this out:

That was a good find zerozero!check this out:

Open Synaptic package manager click on the package (or packages) you don't want to update (there is only one in my case - libva1 - probably the same for you also). Then go to package, lock version. It will disappear from the 'upgradeable' list and appear in a 'pinned' list instead.So, if i wanted to not do this group, how do i knock this group out? Do i just hit my "clear button"?
Or something else?
