Cannot install version libbrasero-media0_2.26.0 because of nautilus-cd-burner already installed !

[FredBezies]

Brasero wasn't installed. I downloaded both brasero_2.26.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb and libbrasero-media0_2.26.0-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb.

When I tried to install it by hand, I got a conflict error message related to nautilus-cd-burner. I had to remove nautilus-cd-burner and installation works.

By the way, there is a bug : a new menu entry is added, related to nautilus-cd-burner :/

I think I'll open / search for a bug.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, this does not appear to be a bug. If you are using a tool such as dpkg to install a package, and this package explicitly conflicts with another, it is expected that you get an error. The general tools (synaptic, aptitude, apt-get, etc.) will resolve these conflicts automatically. Can you answer the following questions ?

1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

To answer to your questions.

1) I used sudo aptitude update and then sudo aptitude safe-upgrade. Brasero and libbrasero were not upgraded.

2) I expected an upgrade.

3) I encountered a conflict with nautilus-cd-burner. I removed it, and then installed using dpkg brasero and libbrasero.

I see the same problem. Unlike the previous version (2.25.92-0ubuntu1), libbrasero-media0 version 2.26.0-0ubuntu1 Conflicts with nautilus-cd-burner.

The trigger is that gnome-desktop-environment (1:2.22.2~4ubuntu5) Depends on both nautilus-cd-burner and sound-juicer (which in turn Depends on libbrasero-media0). This means that gnome-desktop-environment cannot be consistently installed with the newer libbrasero-media0 package.

One possibility is for change gnome-desktop-environment to allow brasero as an alternative to nautilus-cd-burner.

I am going to confirm this report and change the package to meta-gnome2, which includes gnome-desktop-environment. My opinion is that g-d-e should be updated to recommend brasero.

Please note also that this conflict appears on the initial installation of ubuntu (in my case, using the alternate install CD on a ps3). Proposed debdiff looks good (thanks Philippe), two conflicting packages in the same meta package are obviously wrong.

Looks good, subscribing u-u-s.

Uploaded. Sitting in the archive admin queue.
