WHY ?

Try removing the "unstable" Debian repositories.

They are in the process of recompiling everything with gcc 4, and that is causing lots of incompatibilities.

It does that because of dependency problems. That arrise in Sid (unstable) from time to time and more often recently because of big changes that are happening.

If you did that through command line you'd have got a prompt too. You should never respond automatically to that, read careful what it ask you.

Try to install from testing, SOMETIMES that solves this kind of problem: apt-get install streamtuner -t testing

Thank You guys

I deslected unstable. I successfully installed streamtuner. Now should I leave it there? Or should I reslect unstable for regular upgrades?

Thanks

Carl

I am still using unstable, but I like to live dangerously. It would probably be prudent to stay away from it for several weeks - until the dust from the gcc and xorg conversions settles.

Is there anyplace where the guys who maintain the Debian repositories discuss this stuff, so we could monitor what's going on? I've looked through some of the mailing list archives at http://debian.org/ , but couldn't find this.

Just use "apt-get install -t testing" option that way you'll not have to remove unstable sources and you'll be able to use it if you want to upgrade from there specific packages (like mozilla-firefox if you want to have the latest package)
