hi, thanks for fast reply.

i don't know really if libdvdread3 i used actually works, but atleast it allowed me to run k3b :) so i'm fine with that for now...
(i'm not usually doing fancy things with k3b, just burning backups or audio cds)

k3b is, as it is, able to burn simple cd/dvd data discs.  but bigger problem (for me) is with this libavcodec stuff, because right now I can't make k3b to convert mp3s into wavs at all.. have to do it manually which is a bit tedious .. :) 

thanks,

.b

another application i tried to install was amarok. which also wasn't succesfull, so i'm forced with amarok 2 for now. this also had lot of dependcy problems.. but that's another story, which i'm sure people are already familiar with.

For some reason, k3b will not build natively under Jaunty, as it cannot
find ffmpeg (which is seemingly not even available in Jaunty?) and the
ARtS header files.  I am therefore creating those wrapper packages to make
the Intrepid version installable as a stopgap measure.  You grabbed an old
version of the virtual libdvdread3 package that was broken; if you tried
it again it would probably work.

I will create a wrapper for libavcodec51 --> libavcodec52 today or tommorrow.
