Help please! I'm still trying to install the proposed fix from vivid-proposed. It has clearly worked for others so I must be getting the command wrong. My 15.04 system is a clean install of 14.10 & then recently updated, so it should be straightforward.

When I try apt-get install banshee/vivid-proposed, it proposes to remove loads of packages including unity and software-center (see above). I didn't continue with this.

When I try apt-get install banshee=2.9.0+really2.6.2-2ubuntu5 I get:
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.
 banshee : Depends: libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.44.1) but 2.44.0-1ubuntu3 is to be installed
           Recommends: banshee-extension-soundmenu (= 2.9.0+really2.6.2-2ubuntu5) but 2.9.0+really2.6.2-2ubuntu4 is to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

It seems you can't combine package=version and package/target-release, as apt-get install banshee=2.9.0+really2.6.2-2ubuntu5/vivid-proposed doesn't find the package. I can see the package is available using apt-cache policy banshee.

Clearly I'm doing it wrong, but I can't work out what is wrong .. .sorry - can anyone advise what the correct command to install the fix should be please?
