ffmpeg changed the names of a lot of codecs internally around their
version 9500 or 10,000 (haven't found the exact revision yet).
Therefore, the problem which is mentioned in this bug is really that the
user uses the old codec name instead of the new one. I would say this is
a regression issue,
Ok, in 8.04 I use to install the packages of medibuntu
ffmpeg with support for xdiv, but in the actual version their not availabe.
So the only way to have support for these formates is to compile ffmeg.
Why does ubuntu don't support the offical packages (or medibuntu) to
these formates?

As I said above, it looks like the problem comes from your command line. This
one should work (if you installed the unstripped packages):
ffmpeg -i /home/dani/prueba.mpg -vcodec libxvid -acodec libmp3lame
/home/dani/prueba.avi

problem with ffmpeg and xvid
Marillat's repository has xvid, and I think while we continue to sync
that it's in our best interest to enable xvid support.
While ffmpeg does have a built in MPEG-4 ASP encoder that is the same codec as
xvid, the general experience is that:
(1) By default the encoding quality is significantly
Xvid support should be enabled in the unstripped variant, but the
correct vcodec option to pass is 'libxvid', not 'xvid'.

** Description changed:
Binary package hint: ffmpeg
I have installed ubuntu 8.10.
I installed the repositories of ffmpeg and
libavcodec-unstripped-51 libavdevice-unstripped-52
libavformat-unstripped-52 libavutil-unstripped-49
libpostproc-unstripped-51 libswscale-unstripped-0
that's correct. the ubuntu ffmpeg package does not enable xvid. The
libraries aren't available in debian, and AFAIUI they are more or less
obsolete.
Can you perhaps explain why xvid is useful/necessary to you considering
that ffmpeg has h263/h264 encoding support via x264?
