To fix it you either need to downgrade lib*cvs* as Sven said or you could do apt-get -f install (after the failure above) and it will give you the full path of the package trying to overwrite libswcale.so.0.5.0. I think it is /var/cache/apt/archives/libswscale0_0.svn20080206-8_i386.deb from the above output. Then do (as root): dpkg -i --force-overwrite /path/to/something/.deb This does not fix anything, rather it allows *bad*, *poorly written* packages to install. In this case, debian mulitmedia knows about the issue and clearly says what to do about it (remove the above line and it will uninstall all multimedia packages). HTH -- Damon L.
