LMDE - loop of conflicting packages

[z3r0z3r0]

In LMDE there's at the moment a loop of conflicting packages and cross dependences:

1- appears the new Mint-clearloox-theme. Cool!! A new theme, lets try it!

2- appears mint-x-theme! Nice! The Devs are buzzy, but this last conflicts with the first. ohh, ok it's an inprovement.

3- appears mint-flashplugin, but at it's installation removes mint-meta-debian and flashplugin-nonfree. Logical about the last but why the first?

4- now if i try to re-install mint-meta-debian, synaptic wants to remove mint-flashplugin and mint-x-theme and install flashplugin-nonfree and mint-clearloox-theme.

Don't know if my explanation makes much sense!!!
Tried my best

Hi,

These are some of the packages we're working on for Linux Mint 10. They made their way to LMDE Romeo but they're not considered stable enough for mint-meta-debian to point to them yet.

PS: Why do you say mint-clearloox-theme and mint-x-theme conflict with each others? Can you paste the error message you get when trying to have both installed?

Oh ok, it replaces it... that's because clearloox was initially designed as the default theme, and it was later replaced by mint-x. Clearloox was to disappear, but there's reasons to keep it. I'll have this fixed after Mint 10.

mint-clearlox-theme was removed from the archive.

sorry, I meant mint-clearloox-theme
