<![CDATA[Dev1 Galaxy Forum / Someone using the deb-multimedia repository?]]> http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=7973 Fri, 15 May 2026 08:29:05 +0000 FluxBB <![CDATA[Re: Someone using the deb-multimedia repository?]]> http://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=63820#p63820 Well, in the long years I have watched Debian and Devuan forums, I have seen several threads where the use of deb-multimedia packages have broken a system.

Myself I did install Acrobat Reader from deb-multimedia in the beginning of my Debian existance. That was an isolated package, the repo was enabled for the installation, and immediately afterwards it was disabled again. That starategy worked for me. Until I decided that the on board PDF tools were fine for me.

If you can, make a test installation in a disposable VM.

Maybe it's impossible.

Just wondering, if someone has experience in doing so (e.g. pinning some specific packages to get most of the remaining).

Example:
I wanted to install deadbeef, but that needs ffmpeg and lib*whatever* from deb-multimedia too. Installing it may or may not wreck the system through recusive upgrades.
