Wondering if anyone has an idea or workaround for this dependency chain pain:
On debian wheezy with the debian multimedia repositories added.
you should not.
well...
lots of packages that were originally only available via debian-multimedia are now in debian proper.
true.
debian and debian-multimedia are not coordinated (nor associated) in any way, this basically means that if you add debian-multimedia to your apt-sources you are asking for trouble.
honestly this is the first time I encounter problems. But you do have a good point there.
this is why i have dumped d-m on all the computers i'm maintaining for some time now.
if you really need it (i think, apart from some codecs, decent dvd-authoring tools are still only available via d-m)
well codecs + e.g. cinelerra-cv is quite a bit of stuff.
you might try:
- remove d-m from your apt-list
- remove all (now obsolete) packages that you intalled from d-m
- install debian's native multimedia packages (e.g. gem), without any
dependency hell
- re-add d-m to your apt-list
- use apt-pinning [1] to avoid installing d-m packages if not requested
explicitely.
But won't one have problems the other way round with d-m packages usually being more updated not installing due to out-dated libs in the standard repos? I guess.
