| I usually recommend purging apt-listbugs, as it can be (usually is) quite confusing to new users. Most of the bugs listed there don't apply to a large part of the audience, priorities are often inflated by the bugreporter and the really serious bugs might not even be filed by the time your test your luck. |

I can tell you about libdvbpsi7 bug, because I sent it to debian multimedia maintainers. libdvbpsi7 is used to decode dvb-t stremas info, like epg and channel list.
But 0.2.1-1 version from sid makes vlc useless for dvb-t viewing, because nothing works as should - no epg no channel list from mux (only first channel is possible to view) - option for change program is inactive. After downgrading to previous version everything works again.
So, this is serious bug if you want to watch dvb-t tv using vlc - otherwise, you can forget about this.
But I thing this shold be treated serious (but actually, it doesn't - as we can see), because it makes one of main vlc functionalities really useless - I can say: it disables dvb-t support. |

@slam: this is very interesting. Can you tell me about:
- vlc version
- libdvpsi7 version
- your sources.list (maybe, you can post it here)
In my case, the same bug exist on 3 computers with debian sid installed, so I wonder why no one can confirm this. |

| This is unbelievable. I've checked this again and again, I used the same sources as you have and still the same. Do you have mpeg4 or mpeg2 standard? Maybe mpeg2 works fine, while mpeg4 doesn't? |
