First of all, my strongest wishes that nobody in this community has been seriously affected by the damned virus.

I'd like convert some mp3 files to ogg. Googling a little, I found the program soundconverter which makes this change.

I ran into an odd problem:

Code: Select all

# slapt-get --install soundconverter
Reading Package Lists...Done
Excluding soundconverter, use --ignore-dep to override
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  soundconverter: Depends: python-gnome
The following packages have been EXCLUDED:
  soundconverter 
0 upgraded, 0 reinstalled, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, 1 not upgraded.

Done
But:

Code: Select all

 # slapt-get --show gnome-python

 libraries. It builds on top of the PyGTK bindings for GTK and
 the PyORBit bindings for ORBit2.






Package ChangeLog:
 Added.

Package Installed: yes
gnome-python and python-gnome are not the same package? Can I use --ignore-dep to override this dependency, as suggested by slapt-get? There are a lot of dependencies, which gives me some fear. :?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure whether this is indeed just a package naming problem, but it does seem to work if you do as you suggested and use --ignore-dep, but then install gnome-python.

Well, that's odd. I've fixed it now. The only way this could have happened is if it was mentioned wrongly in the slackbuilds.org dependencies list, which I guess is possible. Thanks Van_Vinkle!

Thanks, Didier, ffmpeg did it. :D

Thanks also to mimosa and gapan.

(By the way: I cannot edit the first post marking it as "solved")
