You can get the avifile packages from unstable and install them manually
or simply get them with apt-get (what I do):
- add unstable methods to /etc/apt/sources.list
- set your /etc/apt/preferences like this:
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
Pin-Priority: 900
Package: *
Pin: release o=unstable
Pin-Priority: -10
- apt-get update
- apt-get install avifile-player libavifile0.6
- comment out added methods for unstable in sources.list
- apt-get update (last two, so you do not update all your packages by
dselect)
However, then you still need the codecs files ...
This works great for me!
