Hi all,
It was nice to see updates happening on this transition but some
packages are still to go through (it seems).

I did the updates and only one of the obsolete packages have some
dependencies which have not been updated to newer versions of library.

$ alias apto
alias apto='aptitude search ~o'

$ apto
i A libavcodec53                                                 -
Libav codec library

Trying to purge the above package gives me the following :-

$ sudo aptitude purge libavcodec53
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libavcodec53{p}
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 7,511 kB will be freed.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libavformat53 : Depends: libavcodec53 (>= 6:0.8.3-1~) but it is not
going to be installed. or
                          libavcodec-extra-53 (>= 6:0.8.7) but it is
not going to be installed.
 libwxsvg0 : Depends: libavcodec53 (>= 5:0.8-2~) but it is not going
to be installed. or
                      libavcodec-extra-53 (>= 5:0.8-2~) but it is not
going to be installed.
 libopencv-highgui2.3 : Depends: libavcodec53 (>= 6:0.8.3-1~) but it
is not going to be installed. or
                                 libavcodec-extra-53 (>= 6:0.8.7) but
it is not going to be installed.
 gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg : Depends: libavcodec53 (>= 5:0.8-2~) but it is
not going to be installed. or
                                 libavcodec-extra-53 (>= 5:0.8-2~) but
it is not going to be installed.
 mencoder : Depends: libavcodec53 (>= 5:0.8-2~) but it is not going to
be installed. or
                     libavcodec-extra-53 (>= 5:0.8-2~) but it is not
going to be installed.
The following actions will resolve these dependencies:

     Remove the following packages:
1)     blender
2)     gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
3)     libavformat53
4)     libopencv-highgui2.3
5)     libopenimageio1.2
6)     libwxsvg0
7)     mencoder

     Leave the following dependencies unresolved:
8)     kde-telepathy-call-ui recommends gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg


Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?] q
Abandoning all efforts to resolve these dependencies.
Abort.

Trying to get libavformat53 uninstalled also has the same issues :-

$ sudo aptitude purge libavcodec53 libavformat53

0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

btw it seems ffmpeg is no longer a binary in the archive.

Lastly, can anybody tell me what is the difference between mplayer1
and mplayer2. The long description does not give any info. or
indication as to why there are two binaries for the same thing
although the version numbers are different.

The only uneducated guess I could make is mplayer2 would have some
differences in UI and perhaps not have feature-parity as compared to
mplayer1 . There may be some differences elsewhere. Could somebody
comment on this and perhaps give some clue in the long description
somewhere.

Provided by: mplayer2
Description: movie player for Unix-like systems
 MPlayer plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/MVP,
QT/MOS/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, PVA files,
supported by many native, Izanami, RealPlayer, and Win32 DLL codecs.
It can also play VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, RealMedia, and DivX movies.

 Another big feature of MPlayer is the wide range of supported output
drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, DirectFB,
but also SDL.

 Not all of the upstream code is distributed in the source tarball.
See the README.Debian and copyright files for details.

Description: next generation movie player for Unix-like systems
 MPlayer plays most MPEG, VOB, AVI, Ogg/OGM, VIVO, ASF/WMA/WMV,
QT/MOV/MP4, FLI, RM, NuppelVideo, yuv4mpeg, FILM, RoQ, PVA files,
supported by many native, XAnim, RealPlayer, and Win32 DLL codecs. It
can also play VideoCD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, RealMedia, and DivX movies.

 Another big feature of MPlayer is the wide range of supported output
drivers. It works with X11, Xv, DGA, OpenGL, SVGAlib, fbdev, DirectFB,
but also SDL (plus all its drivers) and some low level card-specific
drivers (for Matrox, 3Dfx and Radeon, Mach64 and Permedia3). Most of
them support software or hardware scaling, therefore allowing
fullscreen display. MPlayer is also able to use some hardware MPEG
decoder boards, such as the DVB and DXR3/Hollywood+.
