I have had several apt-get / aptitude session to get things straight in order to be able a package from the official debian repository while packages from the debian-multimedia reposity have been installed. So I use packages from that repository sparely. And have this to avoid further trouble: martin@merkaba:~> cat /etc/apt/preferences […] Explanation: Manchmal Konflikte mit offiziellen Paketquellen, 15.6.2011 Package: * Pin: release o=Unofficial Multimedia Packages Pin-Priority: 200 […] The german translates to: "Sometimes conflicts with official package repositories".
