Here's a cleaner variation of the workaround: sudo dpkg --purge --force-depends libpostproc52 sudo apt-get install libpostproc52 sudo apt-mark auto libpostproc52
The first line purges the package without removing any of the packages that depend on it. (This is fine, since we're going to reinstall the dependency immediately.) The second line reinstalls the package. The third line marks the package as automatically-installed (as it is in a stock ubuntu system), so the system knows to treat it as a dependency rather than something the user manually installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1286836 Title: package libpostproc52 6:0.8.10-0ubuntu0.13.10.1 failed to install/upgrade: libpostproc52:amd64 6:0.git20120821-4 (Multi-Arch: no) is not co-installable with libpostproc52 which has multiple installed instances To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libav/+bug/1286836/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
