Obviously you did not follow the guide precisely:

Please tell me if you use gnome or kde and I can advise you…

N.B.: Changing the priorities in oss and non-oss as you have done is not necessary.

I’m using KDE…But what didn’t i do? Now i’m confused…

Open software management
View with the filter to repositories and select packman and do this

If you get a box with dependency questions and you are not sure how to answer them, you can use the expert button in the box and save it to file and then post it here. But you should be looking to change vendor of packages to Packman (that includes kaffeine).

Ahhhh i see now…But it says it’s gonna remove some of the things…

keep both obsolete packages

] keep obsolete dialog-1.1-28.2.i586

] keep obsolete libdvdnav4-4.1.3-2.2.i586

When done
Go back to software management and search for libdvdnav4

Then view the versions (like this)
ImageBam - Fast, Free Image Hosting and Photo Sharing
(That’s for a different package, but this principle)

In the list you will see a radio for packman’s libdvdnav4 - select it and apply

there it goes…thank you so much…i totally over looked that and i never would have noticed and went crazy LOL

It’s all in the guide.
Except for the error options because those vary according to your installed packages.

Let me know if it works out;)
