So, if you don't pin down the priority of deb-multimedia, virtually every
audio- and video-related package on your system will be replaced with the
deb-multimedia version, which for the sake of stability is very likely a
bad idea.
So it is safer to lower the priority of deb-multimedia and that of

To resolve this, you might consider to create a file
like e.g. /etc/apt/preferences.d/multimedia .

To begin with, which distribution is it? In general, with Stable, it
pretty much doesn't matter which tool is used. The kind of problems you
have indicate Unstable or Testing.
First, apt is pretty much apt-get, with different syntax and a few
extra features. Aptitude can generally do a better job

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade the current setup and I am unable to
understand the differences between aptitude vs. apt-get usage.
When I do apt-get -s upgrade, I get
