Hi there
I am having troubles installing VLC on testing/ wheezy.
The error messages are:
vlc:
Depends: vlc-nox but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: vlc-plugin-notify but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: vlc-plugin-pulse but it is not going to be installed
How do I overcome these dependency issues. I have selected vlc-nox, but
the system wants to remove a range of apps that don't seem to have any
logical connection, including Amarok, GNOME, Xine-UI, and a number of
libraries and Entagged, etc.
I appreciate that testing is, by definition, volatile, but this just
seems a bit of a quandry that I have no idea about how to resolve.
Can anyone help me out with some suggestions please.
I have testing/wheezy and unstable in my sources.list so I just
install vlc and it was installed from the unstable branch.
Not for the faint of heart but it has worked for me for over 5 years
with little or no major problems.

I have just ventured into the region wherein dragons lurk!!
Actually it was deceptively simple: added a line for unstable in my
sources.list, updated, and then installed vlc. Hopefully this will not
come back to bite me, but all went very easily.
Thanks - much appreciated!
If something does break it usually is fixed within a few days. I don't
venture into the dragons den willy nilly, only for something I really
need. Unstable filters down to testing anyway, eventually so....
Glad you fixed your problem.
Regards
Wayne
