Since these are many multimedia packages and many mentions of ffmpeg I
think it likely that you have mixed sources. Did you install those
from Merillat's archive?

I would restore the install from a backup and then run
apt-get dist-upgrade instead of apt-get upgrade. If you don't have a
backup, then backup your Debian now and try a dist-upgrade, perhaps with
the option -s, --simulate, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon, --no-act

I wish to have all users of all Debian installs on my laptop have
unrestricted access to everything on a particular partition. It

Reading state information... Done
The following packages have been kept back:

Hi Tom.
Andy listed several ways as well so I'll try not to duplicate his list.
I think most important is reading and studying. Shoot, I had to do that
