The up-to-date Lenny version of libavcodec51 (0.svn20080206-17+lenny1)
does define img_resample (I downloaded and checked the packages for i386
and amd64), so there must be something wrong with the avcodec libraries
that you have on your system. Please post the out of these commands:

ls -l /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavcodec.so.51

nm -D /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavcodec.so.51 | grep img_

dpkg -S /usr/lib/i686/cmov/libavcodec.so.51

dpkg -l libavcodec\* | awk '/^i/{print $1,$2,$3}'
