Hi !
I'm running trinity desktop on Debian Jessie. As I tried to install k9copy program, apt-get complained about dependency on "mencoder"
The package "mencoder" doesn't seem to be available in jessie. Any idea how to solve it?
Here is my /etc/apt/sources.list.d/trinity.list file ----8<---- deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-bu ilds/debian jessie main deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-nightly-bu ild-dependencies/debian jessie main ----8<----
Here is the output of apt-get install command: ----8<---- root@tuoni:~# apt-get install k9copy-trinity Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done 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: k9copy-trinity : Depends: mencoder but it is not installable E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. ----8<----

Looks like it is removed from Debian, The depends will have to be removed from k9copy-trinity
The question is whether k9copy without MEncoder is useful? We could move mencoder to Recommends or set variant dependency "mencoder | libav-tools". But the question is whether it will be useful without rewrite k9copy to able use avconv instead of mencoder?
