What repositories are active on your install?

Hi
Debian testing does not have a mkvtoolnix with version 10.0.0-0~bunkus01. I suspect you’re using some extra PPA/Repository that is not either officially supported by Debian or Netrunner.

While Debain is still testing an older buggy 9.8 version, MKVToolNix has a repository, that has the current release Version 10.0.0, that fixes a lot of bugs in 9.8 & 9.9.0, but depends on outdated packages to install version 10.

Hi
You’re trying to use Debian Jessie repos on a Debian Stretch system. This won’t work since the package is built against a old lib boost.

You might want to try and install the package from Debian Experimental perhaps. It has v10 of the package.

Thank you. I’ll look into v10 from Debian Experimental, and building from source. :-/
