If you are a user of LMDE and you don't use the official repositories for this distro, it is advisable that you always update using Update Manager (Update Manager) and not Synaptic o Apt.
For example, despite using LMDE I use the official repositories of Debian Testing and of course, there are packages that can conflict, such as VLC. The difference between the Update Managersy Synaptic, is that the first one will never show you any update for those packages that conflict with others that are already installed.
That is why my advice is to always use The Update Manager to update the system if you don't want crashes or unexpected problems 😀
How do I get in touch with you regarding a question regarding LMDE? I can't find any email on the blog.
Already elav (author of the post) sent you an email, good luck 🙂
Greetings.
PS: It would be a good idea to put a contact form haha.
I already wrote to the mail ^^
Thanks for the advice, I think I once had a related problem.
Thank you.
I congratulate you on your page and despite being relatively new to LMDE, I can see the excellent contribution that taking and exploiting these issues means from the point of view of those of us who have not yet mastered much of this beautiful world of Linux distros.
For reasons of resources (PC P4 with 256 Mb) and ethics (I did not want to hack W… .ows), I opted to use Debian 6.0 and from there GNU / Linux caught me.
Now that I found LMDE I think there is no more to look for ...
Thank you again.
