Hart,

I can't say for sure what broke your youtube-viewer.

Most of your installation problems are not going to
come from your choice of package manager, so might
as well stick with one, apt-get, aptitude both
walk the same dependency trees.

What is an issue these days is how much gets pulled in by default.
There are requires/suggests/recommends relations in Debian packages
now, and I think you get more than just 'required'
dependencies by default now.

To have less:

-- quote --
First use an editor to make the necessary changes:
                                                                                                         
root@email-addr-hidden:~# nano /etc/apt.conf.d/01lean
                                                                                                         
Add the following lines:
                                                                                                         
APT::Install-Suggests "0";
APT::Install-Recommends "0";
APT::AutoRemove::SuggestsImportant "false";
APT::AutoRemove::RecommendsImportant "false";

-- endquote --

The newest Nama, and some of its perl dependencies are only
available for sid AKA Debian unstable. I'm not sure how to
pull them into stable or testing distributions.
People often switch from the Debian stable distribution
to testing or unstable to get newer packages.

However there are already newer changes you will want. Here
is a simply way to install Nama while using Debian system
perl, but compiling extra stuff into your $HOME directory.

        apt-get install libncurses5-dev cpanminus liblocal-lib-perl

Note *two* angle brackets in following:

        perl -Mlocal::lib >> ~/.bashrc

        source ~/.bashrc

        echo $PATH

(Should include something like $HOME/perl5/bin.)

Now you should be ready for:

        cpanm Audio::Nama

which you can use to upgrade Nama later.

Finally,

        nama

hope this helps

Joel
