KF5 users beware dmo removals!

[dibl]

Today there were over 170 packages to be upgraded in a d-u, but with the dmo repo enabled there would be 24 removals of audio/video packages including ffmpeg, kaffeine, etc.  Disable the dmo repo, apt-get update, and then the d-u will go through with no removals.

[piper]

Hmm, 5:30am (eat) no removals, at work now, check again when I get home , thanks for heads up

[dibl]

My d-u this morning was about an hour later than yours.  I re-enabled dmo to check the situation -- here is what I see at this time (1432 EDT):

I haven't made any deeper investigation since I can work around it by disabling the repo.

[cas]

what is a "dmo repo"? never heard of that.

[jure]

deb-multimedia.org/ ?

[dibl]

deb-multimedia.org/ ?

Yes. Sorry cas -- I thought everyone here was familiar with it.

Then I can install libavcodec56 and it removes skype and libasound2-plugin.i386, none of which work without a systemtray anyway, so that's what I did.

And now a d-u against dmo will go through with no further issues.  So, the lurking problem was skype and a couple of xxx.i386 packages blocking the newer dmo multimedia packages.  All good now.  Sorry for all the noise -- this is only going to affect users with multi-arch and skype installed, I think.

[piper]

That was going to be my next question cause I thought you used skype.

I don't use skype no more, but, multiarch I do.

Glad you got it all sorted, nothing to be sorry about 

[dibl]

And thanks for the tips, piper, as always!
