Re: VLC can't be installed: libchromaprint0 missing dependencies

[vive-gnulinux@riseup.net]

Many thanks, Vincent, for taking steps towards solving the VLC problem.

And if I'm not mistaken, libchromaprint0 dependencies are already resolved:
wheezy-backports (libs): audio fingerprint library
1.1-1~bpo70+1+b1

https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=chromaprint

dep: libavcodec55 (>= 6:10~beta1~)
    Libav codec library
or libavcodec-extra-55 (>= 6:10.1)
    Libav codec library (additional codecs)

dep: libavutil53 (>= 6:10~beta1~)
    Libav utility library

That was fast, congrats :-)

Regards
