I don't know how best to proceed without doing more damage. I just recently
tried and apt-get upgrade and ran into the following:

apt-get upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
mjpegtools : Depends: liblavfile-2.0-0 but it is not installed
Depends: liblavjpeg-2.0-0 but it is not installed
Depends: liblavplay-2.0-0 but it is not installed
Depends: libmjpegutils-2.0-0 but it is not installed
Depends: libmpeg2encpp-2.0-0 but it is not installed
Depends: libmplex2-2.0-0 but it is not installed


Then:

phobos:/home/nick# apt-get -f install

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

The initial error on the first attempt was the version string errors. I know
sid in kinda crazy right now but what's the best way to proceed?

Here's my version of the same code (1)

#apt-get -f install

The following extra packages will be installed:

a yes gets you a code (1)

I could remove libgl1-mesa-glx but that would take with it:
alsamixergui
bluefish
claws-mail-fancy-plugin
filezilla
glew-utils
gvfs
gvfs-backends
gvfs-daemons
libfltk1.1
libglew1.7
libglu1-mesa
libvisual-0.4plugins etc etc etc...19 odd packages including xorg

Not something you want to purge from the system just yet.

As far as I can tell you have file conflicts between Debian and
deb-multimedia packages. You might want to remove all packages from
deb-multimedia and then upgrade.

Kind regards,
Andrei
