Crazy problem with security update, libav

Post by wolftune »

Today, my update system says there are security updates for libav files and some multimedia player (dragonplayer?)
But when I try to upgrade it says:

Code: Select all

The following packages have been kept back:
  libav-tools libavdevice53 libavfilter2 libavformat53 libpostproc52 libswscale2
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.
If I try clicking these in Muon, it threatens to uninstall tons of things from kdenlive to ffmpeg to kxstudio stuff if I accept installing.

Maybe it would help if you say what distro you are using (and what repos you have enabled).

I'm using the straight KXStudio DVD install 12.04
Besides the KXStudio stuff, I have some minor one-app repositories (google talk, dropbox, dinisnoise, taskcoach…), ubuntu-wine, kubuntu-backports

I am getting the same problem in Bodhi, so it looks like it is a Ubuntu problem.

I'm seeing this today, related to kxstudio updates... I think?

There's gotta be a tool out there that draws a graph to calculate the root of a conflict?

On debian/sid I usually do:

Code: Select all

 apt-get -o Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade
in such a case to get detailed information about what happens.

That got it, thanks!!

The output confirmed my suspicion about the package. I had doubted it because it was a kxstudio version... It turns out I had made a copy/paste error last night, and added the wrong PPA (kxstudio-kde49). Removed it and I'm back to normal. Thanks again :)

Oh! I didn't realize this existed! Should I use this and remove the Kubuntu backports?
