I've got 0.50, is that OK?

Yup, that's what I got.

OK, let me get this straight. I need to downgrade 
libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2. Maybe I will  have to downgrade glibc as well?
(I don't remember why I upgraded glibc in the first place, I think one
of the  DIVX players wanted it: if  it isn't this one,  I can probably
downgrade.) Also I need to remove libsdl1.1-dev. (Won't avifile then
complain that it needs libsdl??) 
I'm generally confused now because  some of my packages are Stable and
some are Unstable, is this  bad? My machine is more roll-your-own than
debian  at this  point, so  I'm not  really keen  on doing  stuff like
"apt-get --install-all-the-latest-packages or whatever".
