Ah, it did try to install from FreshRPMs, didn't it? Hey, I didn't
notice that. I sure wish that the two repositories had less commmon
ground. Well, for fun, let's remove the libmad package, remove
FreshRPMs from my configuration, and try again with the original packages.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
planetccrma-audiovideoapps: Depends: alsaplayer but it is not going
to be installed
Depends: audacity but it is not going to
be installed
Depends: mpg321 but it is not going to be
installed
Depends: rosegarden4 but it is not going
to be installed
Depends: sweep but it is not going to be
installed Depends: terminatorX but it is
not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

It looks like we still have the same problem even though FreshRPMs is no
longer part of my APT configuration.
Let's try installing libmad from Planet CCRMA

I guess that's the conflict? I'll try it again with FreshRPMs in there.

I guess that FreshRPMs' Libmad has something in it that the PlanetCCRMA
one does not? Oh well.
Out of curiousity, is there a way that I can find out which 10 packages
are _not_ being upgraded?
Peace,
William
