[SOLVED] Can't uninstall a program using synaptic manager.

Hi Linux forums,

I have Debian 7.0 (wheezy) installed on my computer.

I am having issues with uninstalling a program from Synaptic package manager. The program is called WinFF.

When I try to uninstall it / fix broken packages, this happens:

Apply the following changes?

winff will be removed
libswscale2 (version 6:0.8.6-1) will be upgraded to version 6:9.10-1
libav-tools (version 6:9.10-1) will be installed
libavcodec54 (version 6:9.10-1) will be installed
libavdevice53 (version 6:9.10-1) will be installed
libavfilter3 (version 6:9.10-1) will be installed
libavformat54 (version 6:9.10-1) will be installed
libavresample1 (version 6:9.10-1) will be installed
libavutil52 (version 6:9.10-1) will be installed

And then I get the following errors:

I have the following repositories:

http://packages.crunchbang.org/waldorf main
http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main contrib non-free
http://http.debian.net/debian jessie main

I find it strange that it needs to download some things before it can uninstall that program.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advanced.

Your sources.list file looks very strange. If you're running Debian, what's crunchbang doing there? Also why do you have both wheezy and jessie in that file. This is a recipe for disaster. Try reading the manual regarding the correct form of your sources.list file and change it accordingly. This may well solve your problem.

Thank you jdkaye for the reply. After removing jessie from the sources list, the application was able to be uninstalled perfectly.

P.S. I'm actually running Crunchbang (with a different desktop environment installed). I think my version of Crunchbang was based off Debian Wheezy.

Thanks again.
