39 OK, I looked closer and saw some things I didn't see before. I think you
40 have a mixed <arch> and ~<arch> system.
41
42 sound-juicer is pulling in gst-plugins-meta-0.10-r2 (unstable)
43 which pulls in gst-plugins-ugly-0.10.6 (stable)
44 which pulls in gstreamer-0.10.14 (stable)
45
46 You need to get everything that goes with gstreamer either stable or
47 unstable, as this mixture doesn't work. Either:
48
49 Convert the box to ~<arch> or
50 keyword gstreamer and ALL it's plugins unstable in package.keywords or
51 remove gst-plugins-meta from package.keywords
