Banshee no longer works after upgrade

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1656 / 2 Years ago, wed, october 12, 2022, 10:22:21

I upgraded 11.04 to 11.10 using the online upgrade, and all went well except for Banshee. It shows under the sounds icon in the panel, and the icon for the program shows in Applications in the Dash, but clicking on either one does nothing (as does trying to run it from the terminal). There are no error messages or other indications that anything is wrong.

I tried uninstalling it and then reinstalling, but I receive the message "Package dependencies cannot be resolved". Hmmm ... how would I fix that?

All the answers were good, and I did try what I could, but in the end I decided that I'd be better off with a fresh install. If there were unmet dependencies with Banshee, where else might there have been problems? So I backed up and then installed everything fresh, and now feel very good about everything. Yeah, it took more time, but now I'm pretty converted to doing fresh installs.
