bunsen-meta-all: remove gstreamer0.1 from recommends list.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2017-08-19 17:14:15

I've just noticed that the bunsen-meta-all package (in Hydrogen/Deuterium) still has gstreamer0.1-plugins-{good,bad,ugly} listed under Recommends: in debian/control, I think these should be removed (which they already have been for Helium-dev).

Is there a way of forcing removal of those packages after the next update? Would adding them to Conflicts: do the trick?

Awwwwwww hell. I had them, took them out and lost sound. #\&$%&/%$&

Put them back and no go... back to the {censored} drawing board.

Please post the command output in full.

What exactly did you give permission for APT to remove (it always checks first)?

EDIT: pro-tip:

aptitude --simulate purge gstreamer0.1-plugins-{good,bad,ugly}

Can anyone test this in BL?

I'm in Arch atm.

found them - see code box
simulated a remove - looked good - see code box
removed them, and
lost sound
then I reinstalled them
hell of a lot of static - sound on/off/on/off
rebooted
messed around in qasmixer (ch2 to ch6 and other settings) to get things working again.
sound OK

^^ Why have you attempted to remove 1.0?

The 0.1 set are the ones we need to drop.

Also, don't use `sudo` with "--simulate", there is absolutely no need.

EDIT: `apt-get autoremove --purge` is *not* the same as `aptitude purge`

Yes, yes, we want to keep gstreamer1.0-blah, those packages are (relatively) fine.

As APT cannot find gstreamer0.1 then I can only presume that you are posting from a Helium-dev system; this thread is about Hydrogen/Deuterium.

Sector11 · 2017-08-19 18:11:26

I thought the 1.0 and 0.1 was an error ... and it was: on my part.

no sudo with simulate ... interesting I've been using it for Y*E*A*R*S

Sector11 · 2017-08-19 18:21:43

Hmmm depends on what you are doing:

 19 Aug 17 @ 15:14:13 ~
   $ sget gnome-sudoku
alias sget='apt install --no-install-recommends --simulate'

NOTE: This is only a simulation!
      apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
      Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
      so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!

I don't have a BL system here at the moment, Hydrogen/Deuterium crapped on on me if you remember, so I net-installed D8 and built it up from scratch and using by backups of Hydrogen.

Try:

sudo apt update && apt --simulate upgrade

Pointless really though — why would you ever refuse an update in Debian stable?

Using "--no-install-recommends" with `apt-get dist-upgrade` sounds like asking for trouble to me btw...

What breaks if you do.. Helium-Dev is another teapot of tadpoles, gstreamer0.1 is removed from stretch leaving little choice, I say.. leave that decision to Debian, or Debian Security Team. If they pull them from the repos that's different, until then well....

This doesn't seem to be on for Debian 8. A number of apps I use regularly still use those libs and would be removed too. I suppose we should remove them from the Recommends though.
EDIT: Done in GitHub bunsen-meta-all (8.0-5).

So a user might be forgiven for thinking sudo was better.
