Hi Nik! Thanks for your help.
Buster is named only for some oddball third-party stuff; except, that is, for Trinity-TDE repos themselves (for which, see below).
deb-multimedia repos (for ? I forget)
Ok. That is most likely your troublemaker. You'll need to get rid of all packages from that repo - that will cause some TDE packags to be removed, too, due to dependencies. Identify one of the deb-multimedia packages, then use "apt-show-versions" (most likely you'll need to install it first) and grep for the extensions. This is a tediouse process, I've been through it a couple of times. The only thing you maybe miss is libdvdcss2. I think I installed it from the sources.
Nik
Nope. Nothing was installed from that repo (yet), and now it's disabled, once again I updated the sources.list, but apt-get keeps returning the same message:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: network-manager : Depends: libpam-systemd E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
quoted ####### I did make the arrangements so that I could create a built-root for Beowulf and test how it is with the network-manager package.
I can confirm that network-manager does contain a dependency on libpam-systemd. However, it is clear that this dependency can be met by installing the libpam-elogind package. To my surprise, libpam-elogind reported a missing dependency because the required libelogind0 package conflicted with the installed libsystemd0. After replacing libsystemd0 with libelogind0, it was possible to continue.
Note: For just such cases, I use aptitude in interactive mode, because everything can be elegantly found and solved there. #######
I don't normally use aptitude or other tools like it (synaptic, etc.). Since I started using apt-get, I have quite forgotten how they even work. But I suppose I could give it a try.
