apt-show-versions is not installed on my system and apt-get refuses to
install it because some dependencies for mjpegtools and transcode are
broken....

I do not understand that: apt-get refuses do anything because of these
missing(?) dependencies, the whole system seems to need dependencies for
two unnecessary packages?

Thanks for your answer. What can I do else?


Best regards
