You can get the avifile packages from unstable and install them manually or simply get them with apt-get (what I do): - add unstable methods to /etc/apt/sources.list - set your /etc/apt/preferences like this: Package: * Pin: release a=stable Pin-Priority: 900 Package: * Pin: release o=unstable Pin-Priority: -10 - apt-get update - apt-get install avifile-player libavifile0.6 - comment out added methods for unstable in sources.list - apt-get update (last two, so you do not update all your packages by dselect) However, then you still need the codecs files ... This works great for me! Bye, Steffen
