What happened?

OBS failed after an update

Description

OBS has a problem after updating. It opens but states that the scene switcher is not available. Atemps to un-install it have failed or to re-install it.
This is also stopping other programmes from being up-dated as it states they use shared files

This is not an issue with pi-apps but an issue caused by your manual installation of an incompatible package from debian repositories. The version of OBS from pi-apps is made with upstream OBS packaging, and not debian packaging scripts (which are out of date). Please remove the incompatible package obs-advanced-scene-switcher (eg: sudo apt purge obs-advanced-scene-switcher) to resolve the issue.

Thank-You very much for your speedy reply. I purged the file and then uninstalled OBS and reinstalled it again and it seems to be working alright. I will test it tomorrow and let you know how it goes. I won't know again until the next lot of Raspberry updates Thanks again for your help Regards Graham Buck
