Package: libxine2 Version: 1.2.6-1+b4 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, Dear Maintainer, This is my very first bug report so please forgive any incidental missteps in this report. I chose Severity #2 Grave because this bug fits the "renders package uninstallable" criteria under that severity level. My thought process is it inhibits the installation of packages that could potentially contain your most recent security patches. So what happened was: Today I ran "apt-get update" followed by "apt-show-versions -u" multiple times as is my daily routine. Results were the same each time I manually tried to upgrade libxine2 (via "apt-get install"). Its package install/upgrade was unsuccessful and generated the following informative (snipped for brevity): libxine2 : Depends: libxine2-plugins (= 1.2.6-1); libxine2-misc-plugins (= 1.2.6-1+b5) E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. On a whim, I tried a backdoor approach via an install attempt of (randomly chosen) libxine2-x. I immediately aborted that approach upon seeing the following advisement: The following packages will be REMOVED: libxine2 libxine2-misc-plugins libxine2-plugins xine-ui My approach for now will be to leave the previous libxine2 related packages as were in anticipation that your Development Team will correct the situation as soon as Humanly possible. Thank you so much for the work you do. Xine is one of my relatively few installed Debian packages hand chosen for being Xfce4 AND user friendly. PS My presumption is you will not need further input as this particular type of bug appears to be a regular, accepted occurrence in Unstable. If you do require further feeback, please note that specifically so that I cognitively grasp that my part of this process is not complete yet. :) Cindy Sue Causey Talking Rock, Georgia, USA -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.1.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=, LC_CTYPE= (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libxine2 depends on: ii libxine2-bin 1.2.6-1+b4 ii libxine2-misc-plugins 1.2.6-1+b4 ii libxine2-plugins 1.2.6-1 Versions of packages libxine2 recommends: ii libxine2-doc [libxine-doc] 1.2.6-1 ii libxine2-ffmpeg 1.2.6-1+b4 Versions of packages libxine2 suggests: pn gxine <none> ii xine-ui 0.99.9-1.2 -- no debconf information
