Comment 22 for bug 1447956

I tried to install the updated package from vivid-proposed but apt-get was going to remove loads of important packages as part of the upgrade, so I didn't go ahead with the installation. Is there something wrong with the package dependencies, or is it me??

I followed the instructions in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed to add vivid-proposed and allow selective installation from it. trying apt-get upgrade -s found no packages for upgrade

But when I did apt-get install banshee/vivid-proposed, I got the following output:

$ sudo apt-get install banshee/vivid-proposed
