After upgrading to 12.04, not only has totem been uninstalled against my will and without my notice, but I cannot install it.



When I try to install it through the commandline, I get the following output:



$ sudo apt-get install totem
[sudo] password for <user>:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
totem : Depends: totem-common (= 3.0.1-0ubuntu21) but 3.2.2-0ubuntu1~oneiric1 is to be installed
Recommends: totem-plugins but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: totem-mozilla but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


How can I fix this problem? As far as I can tell, I had no errors during the upgrade.



Comment suggestions



Please post your suggestions as answers so I can give them followup individually.

sudo apt-get update fetches all the data and gives no errors.

Repeating the 3 commands above yields no different results.



$ dpkg-query -W totem-common totem-common3.0.1-0ubuntu21
totem-common 3.2.2-0ubuntu1~oneiric1
No packages found matching totem-common3.0.1-0ubuntu21.

Well you were using the GNOME3 Team which had a higher version of totem then available in precise. Assuming you don't want to continue to use that ppa in precise then, (also assumes the ppa is no longer enabled, you should check in Software Sources > Other Software



single command, copy & paste all



sudo apt-get purge totem-common && 
sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get install totem


Otherwise re-add the ppa for precise sources, update. Use of that ppa is somewhat at your own risk & certainly up to you to keep track of what's being installed ect
