When something like that happens again please search the Changelog for
the package name. This particular problem was due to a very old bug in
the 7.3 scripts of the lilypond package (a typo I made) and a workaround
was described when I updated the package to a newer version.

You did not do anything wrong. The problem happens because the
libsndfile package still is not "RedHat version" tagged and so is not
going to be upgraded automatically to the version that the redhat 9
packages need. 

To fix this just force erase the package:
  rpm -e --nodeps libsndfile
and then use apt in "fix mode" to install the correct one:
  apt-get -f install

There may be other instances of packages you will need to upgrade
manually.
