antiX-forum

i installed antix 7.5, as it runs smoother in vbox.
i removed all entries in sources.list and left mepis,debian-unstable and debian-multimedia, installed python,perl, aptitude and dpkg and ran apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade.

after dist-upgrade i get an error, some packages are not installable:
libavutil49_4
libavformat52_4
libavdevice52_4
libswscale0_4

apt-get -f install
dpkg --configure -a

didn`t help.

i tried to remove the packages manually from the (/var/apt/cache?)-archive.
I tried to remove mplayer and ffmpeg, but package-management doesnt work no more

may i solve the situation somehow?

apt-get clean
apt-get install aptitude
aptitude install -reinstall mplayer

i couldn`t install, reinstall, remove or autoremove anything. i added the teharris and the testing repositories again, ran apt-get -f install and got it up now
thanks

banshee, there are some issues with apt and aptitude in Sid/unstable at the moment. Best to keep the Testing repos going for a while and check the apt-get dist-upgrade messages before hitting Enter.
