Also, an upgrade was involved regarding libxine. Here are the lines:- [UPGRADE] libxine1 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-console 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-doc 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-ffmpeg 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-gnome 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-misc-plugins 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-plugins 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 [UPGRADE] libxine1-x 1.1.8-3 -> 1.1.8-3+lenny1 Nothing about libmad0 in the log file. So, what should I do now to fix this issue? Why do I have to downgrade? Wouldn't this problem be fixed in Lenny at all? Please suggest the best possible path from here.
