MX 17 Repository: The MKVToolnix Thread

[Stevo]

Thanks--looked like the man page got installed in the new location as well as the old, so I'll roll a new version later tonight.

That will be great. MXPI shows mkvtoolnix installed but not mkvtoolnix-gui. I check late on Sunday since I use it a lot.

I just uploaded the "mx17+2" fixed packages, so hopefully they'll be in the test repo soon. They are here if you want to try installing the two debs with the Thunar right-click action. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1OGfTo ... jyb2hWmh3z

I think you have the other backports already installed they need from the test repo.

When I saw this I checked and it was in MXPI, so I tried it there. Basicly the same error as before. So I'll show what the program showed, and what I did and got it to install.

I had went to the la-mirror and got the 33 version and installed it, which worked fine while waiting for the 35 version.

So used MXPI to update to the 35 version and received this error.

I did open the program and it showed this.

So I then did this remove, no purge:

I then tried the install again and it worked. So something is still wrong with the update when going from 33 to 35 version. Hop this helps to figure out why.

You still show the mx17+1 version coming from the repo, not the fixed mx17+2...

I think I have an opp's moment as I had to many versions of the console output and copied the wrong one. Sorry, I've deleted all of them, so unless the console saves the last one some where, out of luck.

I do have the +2 version installed. I can give you a screen shot of MXPI if you want. The other question is, I could remove the 35 version and reinstall the 33 version to do it again if it would help. Let me know if you want me to do it?

Edit to add this from history:

I just tried the install from the test repo and it worked on 64-bit. Try uninstalling both mkvtoolnix and mkvtoolnix-gui, then upgrading both of those at once from the test repo.

My last comments on this.

1. If you have mkvtoolnix_33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1_amd64 and mkvtoolnix-gui_33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1_amd64 installed it will Not update to the 35.0.0-1~mx17+2 versions with out errors.

2. The program tells you that there may be errors if you use it as the GUI is still the 33.v version while the rest is the 35.0.0-1 version.

3. If you remove the GUI and then the command line part it will install with no errors.

4. Just as a test I remove both and then rebooted. Installed both 33 CL & GUI, tested that it works.

5. Tried to update it to the 35 version and ended up with the same cross versions.

6. Removed them and the 35 version installed with no errors. I did a test and it seems to work find.

7. Do you want the output from the console when I tried to do the update?

8. If there is anyone else that has an older version installed, I would tell then to remove first and then install it.

Let's see what happens here.. I have mkvtoolnix_33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1 and mkvtoolnix-gui_33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1 installed. Note the lack of _amd64 (I am on a 64-bits system).

Upgrading using test repo says it will upgrade to 35.0.0-1~mx17+2

Code: Select all

mkvtoolnix (version 33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1) will be upgraded to version 35.0.0-1~mx17+2
mkvtoolnix-gui (version 33.1.0-0.1~mx17+1) will be upgraded to version 35.0.0-1~mx17+2

I get this in a popup:

The gui package is left with broken dependencies and there are three auto removables:

mkv.jpg

Removed both faulty mkvtoolnix and -gui using completely remove, and installed both using the test repo. No errors. Program starts without issues, currently multiplexing something.

Those autoremovables are nowhere to be found in the status window now, though I did nothing with them. They've disappeared. *shrug*

[towwire]

I thought that we would want to find out why the new version did not replace the old version as it should.

I have upgrade mkvtoolnix from the test/repo a few times and this is the first time there were errors.

When mkvtoolnix_35.0.0-1~mx17+1_amd64 + GUI came out there were errors on the GUI side. Even with a purge of all mkvtoolnix the GUI part would not install. Thats why the -mx17+2 was done. While waiting I installed the old version as noted in other post.

Before 'stevo' said he installed with no errors, I had the mkvtoolnix_35.0.0-1~mx17+2_amd64 plus the GUI version installed with no errors.

That's when I did all the steps in my other post, to see if the new version would replace the old version and it does not. It did install the C/L version but not the GUI. The one thing I did not try was just removing the GUI and then Installing the new GUI version.

I don't know if it worth the effort to fix or as 'stevo' said and 'Eadwine Rose' prove and I've shown, remove the old version before installing the new.
