Can't apt-get gstreamer-universe
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Whenever I try to download all of the gstreamer freatures using apt-get (apt-get install gstreamer-universe), i get this error about a broken dependency: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: gstreamer-universe: Depends: gstreamer-a52dec (>= 0.6.0) but it is not going to be installed E: Sorry, broken packages
I'd like to add a 'me too' here. I'm using rh 8.0 and I'm trying to install rhythmbox. bash-2.05b$ sudo apt-get install rhythmbox Reading Package Lists... Done Collecting File Provides... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that the package is simply not installable and a bug report against that package should be filed. The following information may help to resolve the situation: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: rhythmbox: Depends: monkey-media (>= 0.6.0) but it is not going to be installed Depends: libgstreamer-0.4.2.so.0 Depends: libmonkey-media.so.0 E: Sorry, broken packages and: bash-2.05b$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer-universe Reading Package Lists...

This also means (amongst many other things) I can't build the monkey-media source rpms.
Hey both of you, my guess is simply you installed a52dec from freshrpms. If you remove it and install the one from our repo, it should work. In the future (ie as soon as I find some spare time left to do that) I will work with matthias to resolve these issues so we can fix this. As for rhythmbox, development is a little hairy atm, I'm not sure which version I'm supposed to be packaging :)
