There is no vlc version in jessie-backports. The problem is more like the following: * vlc depends on libA. * libB from jessie-backports is installed. * libA and libB enforce a strict relationship, i.e. either both versions are from stable or from stable-backports. So now apt fails to install libA from stable and does not pick up the version from stable-backports (unless one explicitely adds -t stable-backports to the command line). So I'm reassigning this issue to apt. Dear apt maintainers, if this is a use-case you do not want to support, feel free to close the issue. > I did have one more question: as far as installing libdvdcss: I see that > you guys don't package it, is it best to install via VideoLan directly or > is there a repo set up already under debian packaging? libdvd-pkg is available in jessie-backports.
