qmplay2

[penguin]

Hi all.

I upgraded my Sparky 4.10 (XFCE) to Sparky 5.8 (XFCE) weeks ago. I noticed a conflict during upgrading of qmplay2 so I decided to keep (lock version). Today I decide to resolve this problem. So ... upgrading of qmplay2 from version qmplay2_18.12.26~sparky4~1-1_amd64 to qmplay2_18.12.26~sparky5~1-1_amd64.
Still having trouble I decided to uninstall old version and install the new one.

The follow lines comes from my terminal

sudo apt-get install qmplay2
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
qmplay2 : Depends: libcdio18 (>= 1:2.0.0) but 2.0.0-2 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Version of my installed libcdio18 is 2.0.0.2

I used all commands for fixing broken packages but still problem persist.

I cannot remove libcdio18 because removal process want to remove clementine , strawberry and gfs-backends.

Anyone have faced the same problem ?

@pavroo . Please. Can you investigate the above mentioned problem with qmplay2?

Meanwhile I will go back to the previous version .....  but now I am in trouble. I downloaded the previous version of qmplay2 from :

Trying to install qmplay2(manually) version qmplay2_18.12.26~sparky4~1-1_amd6 I get the follow error:

Error:Dependencey is not satisfiable : libavdevice57 (>=10:3:3.9)

Meanwhile I have resolved problem in this way:

I tried to installing old version by installing manually of missing dependencies ...but this method directed me to install an chain of non satisfied dependencies. So?

I downloaded qmplay2 from the author site

https://github.com/zaps166/QMPlay2 and I found that libtag-extras1 needs to be installed. I installed it from Synaptic.

Second step . I tried to install qmplay2-ubuntu-amd64-18.12.26-1.deb  by gdebi also by gdebi-tool , but no success. So, I enter terminal as su - (this is important). Go to your directory where qmplay2-ubuntu-amd64-18.12.26-1.deb is and install it by command
dpkg -i qmplay2-ubuntu-amd64-18.12.26-1.deb .


Done ! Till moment I will find another solution, I locked my qmplay2 from Synaptic, to avoid qmplay2 update.

If you enable Debian multimedia repos, you will get the required dependencies to qmplay2.

Ok, found the problem now.
When I build the qmplay2 package, there was libcdio18 available in Debian and Debian Multimedia repos, the 1:2.0.0 was installed from the Multimedia, and my deb needs exactly this version.
But, there is no libcdio18 pack in Multimedia repos any more, was upgraded up to libcdio19 - that's the problem.
A solution - have to rebuild qmplay2 with the new lib.

Edit
Fixed now.
