on a fresh Mint 22 installation, you can install the codecs via the menu, or via the report which pops up in mintreport.
The menu calls apturl apt://mint-meta-codecs?refresh=true. That works fine.
The report uses mintreport's install_packages function... which uses mintcommon's APT interface. This fails if the report only tries to install mint-meta-codecs.. it stutters on the fact that libdvdread8 is virtual, and fails to resolv dependency because of the av extra packages.
Maybe the simpleclient is trying to hard when simulating the installation before actually doing it? In any case, this needs to be investigated and fixed in aptkit.
Here's how to reproduce the issue...
