 Doesn't help, I tried to analyze to find that libgstfarsight0.10-0
version 0.0.16-1~bpo50+1 depends on libgupnp-1.0-2 (>= 0.12.8) but
that's not available at all. The backport of gupnp does build
libgupnp-1.0-3 instead.

 Andres, can you check your dependency chain again with respect to that,
there seems to be something fishy going on here. :)

 Yes, it is - see above, unresolvable dependencies. There might be more
than just this one, libgupnp-igd-1.0-2 version 0.1.3-4~bpo50+1 also has
the same unresolvable depends.

 Also, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad version 0.10.17-1~bpo50+1 has a
conflict set with gstreamer0.10-plugins-good (< 0.10.15.2) but removing
that package gets one into other big headaches.

 Thanks for looking further into it,
Rhonda
