Please, don't do this! You're mixing Official Debian Repositories with
crappy Debian-Multimedia Unofficial stuff. Bad idea [1].
That's why you're facing a dependency issue in installing gtkpod.
Epoch in dmo is greater than official one, so apt/aptitude tries to
install the newer version, causing the dependency trouble.
Simply, remove debian-multimedia.org from your sources, update the cache
and try again: you'll luckier this time ;-)

HTH.

Cheers.
