I just installed antiX 8.2 and I wanted to install Brasero. When running apt-get it says that it needs some dependencies. How do I install?

Have you done a apt-get update since you installed AntiX. I posted a answer in chat. In case you can't find it.

@vinoman - open terminal. Log in as root user. apt-get update . hit enter. apt-get install brasero

or

Or open synaptic package manager and use the search box to search for brasero and install.

Make sure your box is updated first. Update won't install anything. It will just update the libraries and apps and such.

Use aptitude to sort out the dependency issue.

aptitude update
aptitude install brasero (and accept the first option)

I get this:

Reading package lists... Done
root@mepis1:/home/davek# apt-get install brasero

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:
brasero: Depends: libbrasero-media0 (= 2.28.3-2) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libtotem-plparser12 (>= 2.28.2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
root@mepis1:/home/davek#

Do I install the two lib files above?

Go for anticapitalista recommendation in his post

Use aptitude to sort out the dependency issue.

aptitude update
aptitude install brasero (and accept the first option)

Thanks, Brasero is now installed, but I doesn't recognize the dvd I want to copy. What else is needed to make it work?

...but I was able to install k9copy

...but for some reason the dvd wasn't recognized by my laptop, but another copy of that same dvd made with Brasero in Ubuntu did play correctly. What would cause the dvd copy not to be recognized?

You probably need to install libdvdcss2.

it's installed. Neither Brasero of K9copy can copy a DVD successfully at this point. Some other files must be missing.
