Hello. I am not sure whether support queries specific to Debian 6 LTS, should be posted to this list, or to the LTS list - on the web page at https://wiki.debian.org/LTS/Contact#debian-lts is
" Mailing lists debian-lts https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts/ (gmane) Description: Discussion and coordination of long-term support work for Debian. Everyone involved or interested in providing Long-Term Support for Debian should feel free to join this list. Discussion of policy, on-going support issues, and anything else relating to LTS are all on-topic here. " which makes that list appear to me (along with the messages that I have so far seen posted to it), to be for developers, rather than for Debian 6 LTS users who are seeking support. I have just tried to install vlc on this laptop. At first attempt, it kept prompting for the "disc number...", so I checked the /etc/apt/sources.list file, and found that it was not set up for LTS. So, I updated the /etc/apt/sources.list file, as (I believe) shown on the relevant wiki web page, and ran apt-get update and then apt-get upgrade, and that apparently included removal of about 3.6MB of something (it did not say what would be removed). But, now I can not install vlc. I get, in the error box (the error classification/description, can not be copied and pasted), " vlc: Depends: vlc-nox but it is not going to be installed Depends: libfribidi0 (>=0.19.2) but it is not installable Depends: libsdl-image1.2 (>=1.2.10) but it is not installable Depends: libxcb-keysyms1 (>=0.3.6) but it is not installable Recommends: vlc-plugin-notify but it is not going to be installed Recommends: vlc-plugin-pulse but it is not going to be installed " Is vlc no longer installable, on Debian 6? -- Bret Busby Armadale West Australia ..............
