I upgraded my system to lenny and using synaptic to get and install kdenlive returns dependancy errors mostly involving mlt and its subsidiaries. The offending files are in the repository so I'm not clear why apt doesn't just get them too. I suspect it is a deeper dependancy issue, because if I try to get and install them they blow with even more dependancy issues. I am not able to load the deb src multimedia lenny main repositories. It gives this error:

W: GPG error: http://www.debian-multimedia.org lenny Release: Unknown error executing gpgv

Any help would be appreciated

What is your /etc/apt/sources.list file?

Mine is:

# Security

deb-src http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib

deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main contrib



# Line commented out by installer because it failed to verify:

deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free



deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free



deb http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free

deb-src http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free



# Multimedia

deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org experimental main

deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org experimental main



deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main

deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main



deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main

deb-src http://www.debian-multimedia.org testing main

 

Then set the default stage to unstable in /etc/apt/apt.conf:

APT::Default-Release "unstable";

APT::Cache-Limit 100000000;

 

Then type:

apt-get update

apt-get dist-upgrade

apt-get install kdenlive

Thanks for getting back about this. Changing the repos didn't work and I tried quite a few different options. It was suggested to me that I try using aptitude instead of apt and with only the deb multimedia lenny main repo active it worked like a charm. The depth of dependancy issues I encountered may be something about the new mepis distro I'm using but this aptitude program is the real deal.

Thanks again,

Mark
