[SLUG] Conflict between deb's & cvs

[Misia Bogacka <misia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I had a conflict between current debs and their deprecated cvs versions.
Advice from various sources was to delete the cvs versions so I deleted

libavcodeccvs51 libavutilcvs49 libpostproccvs51 libswscalecvs0

After a bit of a search I located the latest non-cvs versions in the 
debian depository
and installed them manually.

I found the latest cvs versions at

http://debian-multimedia.org/pool/main/f/ffmpegcvs/ffmpegcvs.php

.. which I believe is Marillat's UCLA depository, and also downloaded
them manually. The latest version is generally '20080610' ..

However, installing the cvs's in place of the older deleted pkgs
gives me the same error msg:

> Tohunga:/home/adam/Downloads# dpkg -i 
> libavcodeccvs51_20080414-0.0_i386.deb
> (Reading database ... 317407 files and directories currently installed.)
> Unpacking libavcodeccvs51 (from libavcodeccvs51_20080414-0.0_i386.deb) ...

'libavcodec.so.51' is a symlink ..

> Tohunga:/usr/lib# ls -la libavcodec.so.51
> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2008-06-23 11:08 libavcodec.so.51 -> 
> libavcodec.so.51.50.0
.. as are the  *.so.* files for the other cvs pkgs.

Also, trying to use mplayer gives me

> adam@Tohunga:~$ mplayer
> mplayer: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libavformat.so.51: undefined 
> symbol: av_crc04C11DB7

At this point I'm not sure what to do next, not wanting to damage the 
system.

Can anyone suggest a fix ?
