Bug Description

Binary package hint: debian-installer

With the current 20080813.1 alternate kubuntu i386 CD, debian installer fails after installing the base system.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Choose manual partitioning and select a partition as / folder (formatting)
2) It installs the base system correctly and creates the main user correctly
3) When installing the additional software it fails when trying to install libxine1-ffmpeg:

Aug 13 16:14:08 in-target: The following packages have unmet dependencies:
Aug 13 16:14:08 in-target: libxine1-ffmpeg: Depends: libavcodec51 (>= 3:0.svn20080206-8) but it is not installable or
Aug 13 16:14:08 in-target: libavcodec-unstripped-51 (>= 3:0.svn20080206-8) but it is not installable

Seems my attempt to fix this from this morning is insufficient:

xine-lib (1.1.14-1ubuntu2) intrepid; urgency=low

  * libxine1 dependencies: Prefer libxine1-misc-plugins over libxine1-plugins,
    since the latter pulls in -ffmpeg, whic pulls in libavcodec51, which is
    banned from CDs. This unbreaks Kubuntu CDs for Alpha 4, although is not
    the final solution we might want.

  * Drop libxine-ffmpeg recommends from libxine1, since otherwise Kubuntu CDs
    are still uninstallable. (LP: #257611)

Martin, this change forces all frontends to recomment libxine1-ffmpeg. Without it, most commongly used media won't play.

I wonder why the installer tries to install libxine1-ffmpeg in the first place. It shouldn't be on the CD anyways because of unsatifiable dependencies. I really don't understand why this happens at all.

It seems to me that the installer breaks if he cannot satisfy recommends, which seems to me the actual bug here.
