I'm trying to install the OMAP4 extras for ubuntu on my pandaboard. For some reason, a few packages can't seem to be agree with eachother.

This what I did so far:

  • installed on Ubuntu 11.10 on sd card
  • Powered on Pandaboard and let it finish it's initial install
  • Did an "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade", to install updates

So far, everything went fine, and I was quite happy with my Pandaboard, but then I made the mistake of typing this:

apt-get install ubuntu-imap4-extras

At first, everything seemed ok, and it started downloading and installing. But then after a while it just crashed. I tried it again but then it gave me this:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
ubuntu-omap4-extras is already the newest version.
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gstreamer0.10-openmax : Depends: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad but it is not going to be installed
gstreamer0.10-plugin-ducati : Depends: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad but it is not going to be installed
ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia : Depends: gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad (>= 0.10.22-2ubuntu4+ti1.5) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

So I tried to the suggestion: apt-get -f install:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Correcting dependencies... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
The following NEW packages will be installed:
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad

Seems like two packages (plugins-good and plugins-bad) are fighting over the same library.

Any idea on how to fix this??
