Bug#844392: vlc refuses to install with debian backports enabled

2016-11-15 Thread Brian Holaday
Hi Sebastian,

Yes it is version 2.2.4-1~deb8u1. First time filing a bug.

It happens when trying to install vlc (#apt-get install vlc). From what I
can figure libgles-1-mesa version 12.0.3-1~bpo8+1 and libgles2-mesa
version  12.0.3-1~bpo8+1 gets installed via backports (I think the nvidia
driver changes versions) and causes the issue.

vlc seems to want to expect version 10.3.2-1+deb8u1. I have yet to test
installing vlc without backports.

Bug#844392: vlc refuses to install with debian backports enabled

2016-11-15 Thread Brian Holaday
Hi Sebastian,

Using jessie-backports seemed to fix the issue (should of tried it to begin
with):
apt-get install -t jessie-backports vlc
apt-get install -t jessie-backports browser-plugin-vlc

I was confused on the fact that looking at
https://packages.debian.org/jessie/vlc it shows jessie but does not list
packages for jessie-backports so I assumed there was none even though there
is a package.

I did have one more question: as far as installing libdvdcss: I see that
you guys don't package it, is it best to install via VideoLan directly or
is there a repo set up already under debian packaging?

Thanks, Brian.
