libdvdcss and w32codecs installation blocked by missing (?) libc6
I'm trying to install libdvdcss2 and w32codecs in MEPIS 6.5. The feedback I get is:
Quote:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libdvdcss2: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-0ubuntu1) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.5 is to be installed
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
w32codecs: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-0ubuntu1) but 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.5 is to be installed
E: Broken packages
-- yet, according to APT, "libc6 is already the newest version."
According to this review of MEPIS, a person could get a repository of non-free packages called Medibuntu that would include w32codecs and libdvdcss. I added this repository to my /etc/apt/sources.list according to the instructions for Feisty Fawn here:
