Both those commands do nothing and purging libavdevice52 didn't give me the version I need, and now I'm unable to install even it again? I get this error message from synaptic: libavcodec52: Depends: libavutil50 (<4:0.6.2-99) but 5:0.7.1-0.1 is to be installed or libavutil-extra-50 (<4:0.6.2-99) but it is not installable This from aptitude: ~# aptitude install libavcodec52 The following NEW packages will be installed: libavcodec52{b} 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 4,629 kB of archives. After unpacking 10.4 MB will be used. The following packages have unmet dependencies: libavcodec52: Depends: libavutil50 (< 4:0.6.2-99) but 5:0.7.1-0.1 is installed. or libavutil-extra-50 (< 4:0.6.2-99) which is a virtual package. Depends: libx264-116 but it is not going to be installed. The following actions will resolve these dependencies: Keep the following packages at their current version: 1) libavcodec52 [Not Installed] Then tried this: ~# aptitude install libavutil-extra-50 No candidate version found for libavutil-extra-50 No candidate version found for libavutil-extra-50 No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. 0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used. No joy I'm afraid.
