Seems I lost cheese by it, but at least nothing is blocking apt / dpkg any more for now.
Thanks.

[eriefisher]

Cheese seems to be removed from the repos for some reason. I'm not sure why but I lost it a few days ago with a D-U.

[micspabo]

Well, welcome to the club then.

Does anyone have a good GTK based replacement. Not something I use often but is handy.

At the 1.st step I tried

Code Select Expand


# apt purge libmjpegutils-2.2-0  libmpeg2encpp-2.2-0  libmplex2-2.2-0


That shows you that "gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad" is part of the problem,- so trie

Code Select Expand


# apt purge gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad libmjpegutils-2.2-0  libmpeg2encpp-2.2-0  libmplex2-2.2-0


Continue that way until the missing dependencies are cleaned up.
I had to add two more packages that way. a.) gir1.2-cheese-3.0 and b.) libcheese8 until the problem was solved for me.

Are you using the Debian Multimedia Repo. They are at the version your posting and this could be the issue.
