i'm trying to install libgmerlin-avdec-dev on ubuntu 9.10 but i have a problem. This is the first time i try to install it. I would like to use it with GEM 0.92.3.
Here what i did : I installed debian-multimedia-keyring (with debian-multimedia-keyring_2008.10.16_all.deb) then add deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org stable main (for repository sources).
So i select libgmerlin-avdec-dev and try to install from Synaptic but i get : libgmerlin-avdec-dev: Dépend : libgmerlin-avdec0 mais ne doit pas être installé
btw, a cool trick to report output on systems with "foreign" languages is to force your system to output in english.
this can be done quite simply on the console, by setting the environment variable "LANG" to "C".
$ LANG=C aptitude install libgmerlin-avdec0
or
$ LANG=C synaptics
this avoids the problem of having to translate messages _back_ to english, which often results in not-identical phrasing, which makes finding the problem more complicated.

PS: as for the problem itself, i cannot offer any help here. since romans packages are reasonably recent and made explicitely for ubuntu, what is wrong with them?
PPS: ubuntu sucks anyhow :-)
