Also, my recent experience was that if I toggled the updated package that was causing the trouble to 'Keep', even though _it_ didn't show up in the download list, the (large) dependencies offering _did_ still turn up. If you haven't updated recently, and you have mediainfo-gui 0.7.91-1 or earlier installed, you can reproduce. You should be offered mediainfo-gui 0.7.93-1. Even if you switch it (and libmediainfo and mediainfo to be sure) to Keep and proceed, you will be hit with a large list of dependencies. ht -- Henry S.
