Aptitude has a gui just check it out.

mine too!

Code:

~$ cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Linux jessie/sid \n \l

So I guess that makes it official.
jdk

edit: I just checked tty1 and jessie/sid is there too.

I have it too but sadly my desktop is currently without mplayer and displaying apt dependency issues. Such is life when running unstable I suppose...

Out of curiosity, what version of mplayer is it trying to install? I've got version 3:1.1-dmo9 installed with no dependency issues.

That's the version I'm trying to install -- it was removed during a dist-upgrade. I'm not sure whether the dependency issues are necessarily linked to mplayer -- they're libgl1-mesa libraries that are broken so I can't use apt-get to install anything right now on my desktop. I reinstalled mplayer on my netbook the day after it was autoremoved though.

The Debian version info does not get bumped until base-files migrates to testing - which happened yesterday:

jdkaye · 05-13-2013, 11:04 AM

I don't know if this is helpful or not but I have libegl1-mesa and libgl1-mesa-glx both version 8.0.5-4 installed.

That version of mplayer is from deb-multimedia. From experience, that repo can play havoc with distribution upgrades and it's better to just get rid of or replace everything it installs from the standard repos, upgrade and then reinstall it when you're done.

What you're experiencing is part and parcel of running unstable. If you started running it during the freeze, you were really running testing with a few newer packages... It might be better to stick with testing or a mixed testing/unstable system if you want some kind of stability.

You mesa issues may also be related to deb-multimedia, I'm sure that he packages some newer xorg and mesa libs.

Some of my packages have been updated to 8.0.5-4+b1 I went into Synaptic to see whether I can fix things as I sometimes have more luck than with apt, however it seems that some of the packages that need upgrading are broken.

Code:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libgl1-mesa-dri_8.0.5-4+b1_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libgl1-mesa-dri/changelog.Debian.gz', which is different from other instances of package libgl1-mesa-dri:amd64
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libgl1-mesa-glx_8.0.5-4+b1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libgl1-mesa-glx/changelog.Debian.gz', which is different from other instances of package libgl1-mesa-glx:i386
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libglapi-mesa_8.0.5-4+b1_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite shared '/usr/share/doc/libglapi-mesa/changelog.Debian.gz', which is different from other instances of package libglapi-mesa:amd64

Try purging them first.

Timothy Miller · 05-13-2013, 11:27 AM

I've found what works best for me is to go from SID to testing a few days before the release of a new version, then stay at testing for a couple months before moving back to SID. Rarely do I encounter issues running it this way.

273 · 05-13-2013, 11:32 AM

Code:

$ apt-cache policy libgl1-mesa-dri
libgl1-mesa-dri:
  Installed: 8.0.5-4
  Candidate: 8.0.5-4+b1
  Version table:
     8.0.5-4+b1 0
        500 http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ sid/main amd64 Packages
 *** 8.0.5-4 0
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

They seem to be from the main repo not deb-multimedia. I suspect that things will be fixed in a few days -- no point going back to testing when I've had pretty much the same type of issues with that also.
I don't really want to go purging them as it'll remove half my packages so I think I'll leave things as they are for now and only purge if things aren't fixed soon.
