Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vlc
I updated the official vlc 0.9.9 from Ubuntu Jaunty repositories with vlc_1.0.0~rc1+20090516-0ubuntu1~kow2_i386.deb from the Launchpad PPA. (See: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/05/install-vlc-10-rc-in-ubuntu- from-ppa.html ) Before the update the vlc-nox package (and a few other vlc packages - pluguins, vlc-plugin-esd 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1 for example) was installed with vlc 0.9.9 release. I didn't noticed any conflicts with these two packages and the vlc 0.9.9 version. THE PROBLEMS/BUGS NOTICED DURING UPDATE VLC from version 0.9.9 to 1.0.0 rc1: 1. When trying to update the current vlc 0.9.9 installation the following bug appeared: "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/vlc_1.0.0~rc1+20090516-0ubuntu1~kow2_i386.deb: an attempt to overwritte"/usr/lib/vlc/video_output/libcaca_plugin.so", which exists also in vlc-nox package" Although the bug appeared, I managed to install the vlc 1.0.0 rc1 version via Synaptic. This bug may appear only if the vlc-nox package have already been installed with 0.9.9 version. It's not hard to fix it in the new installer. 2. During installation I was forced to install the oldish (20070626-1, 14.3 MB of disc space) videolan-doc package, which I didn't need with the previous vlc version. I think this dependency should be removed or the documentation file should be updated and installed only on demand. 3. The vlc-plugin-esd 0.9.9a-2ubuntu1 (jaunty) is not compatible with the vlc_1.0.0~rc1+20090516 Is this oldish plugin useful nowadays? IMHO, these 3 minor bugs should be fixed before the vlc 1.0.0 release. ** Affects: vlc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Update VLC to _1.0.0~rc1+20090516 and problem with 3 packages https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379020 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
