I think you are mixing up Sarge/Etch/Sid:
I did have etch in sources.list a few day back to install something-
forget what it was now. Have since commented it out, everything sid
except for security-stable/sarge.
Sarge (stable) has mozilla-plugin-vlc version 0.8.1.svn20050314-1sarge1
and libsysfs1 version 1.3.0-7.
Etch (testing) has libsysfs2 (2.0.0-6) and currently no version of
mozilla-plugin-vlc available.
Sid (unstable) has mozilla-plugin-vlc (0.8.5.debian-2) and libsysfs2
(2.0.0-7). I have this combination installed and I have not noticed any
problems with it. I also don't find any grave bugs listed for it. Maybe
you could post your /etc/apt/sources.list and the output of "apt-cache
policy mozilla-plugin-vlc" so that it is clear which version you are
trying to install.
Sounds like you have found what my problem is. Sources.list and policy
statement shown below:
As far as the "new mirror honk" is concerned: I have never heard of it.
If it is a normal Debian mirror then the normal Debian archive signing
key should be enough. If it provides additional packages then it also
should provide the signing key(s) for those. What is the URL of this
mirror?
The honk url is in my sources.list(last line) and came from a reference in
deb-users(june) in a post about the Marillat site going down and the new mirrors
to replace it. Also, it appears that svn? is coming in with security stable.
Whatever svn is. I now suspect that there is a problem using security stable
with sid distro. Have done so since day one on all distros.
