                  I have the "no entry" symbol, following an attempted
                  upgrade of DVD CSS decoder, screentop right.
                  Broken dependencies appears to be the problem,
                    some folders are devoid of content, or will not
                    display.
                  Is there an alternative to a reload of 10.04,
                    please, update does not work now.
                  Was attempting to load Medibuntu when it all went
                    wrong.
                  Have updated my current problem with bug report
                    912320, still pending.
                  Any suggestions please ?
                  Thanks,  Michael
                
              
              

            
            

            
            From a terminal run the following:
            

            
            sudo aptitude update
            sudo aptitude upgrade
            sudo aptitude -f
            

            
            which should bring your system up to date and clear any
              broken dependencies or give some useful output that you
              can then paste here.

        I get for -f    E:Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known in line
          1 in source list
        /etc/apt/sources list.d/medibuntu list
        

        
        Hope I have typed it right, medibuntu appears to be the
          cause of the problem, thanks, Michael
      
      

      
      

    
    You can do one of two things here - either edit the file manually -
    lines in there should have either deb, deb-src or # at the beginning
    - nothing else. It's likely that the whole thing is wrong. 

    

    The other option is to remove that file and redo the procedure to
    add medibuntu - either run nautilus as root - gksudo nautilus
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d

    

    and remove the file from there or do it from the command line - sudo
    rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

    

    

    Then re acquire the medibuntu repos using the command here -

Michael writes,Thanks, sudo rm /etc......has restored my 10.04 to normal after a restart, I'll resist a reload of medibuntu for now as I can do region "0" copies of all DVD's.It is interesting to see how one file error can cause so many problems to a release, please accept my thanks, all who helped, rest assured that Medibuntu isa well tried and tested DVD CSS  decoding program, just needs to be typed in correctly.
