Gstreamer wants wrong dependencies
Ubuntu 12.04, about a week old.
When trying to play divx/xvid streams, it asks to install ac-3 & xvid gstreamer 64 & 32 bit versions. It then fails, because of dependencies that are installed are newest version.. or it's looking for wrong versions, ones that are not used. Can anyone give me a step by step to try and fix this? I've gone through the entire list before and did some again tonight, even trying to download the versions it wants. I can install ffmpeg through software center, but it then causes my stream to try to load.. and it won't do anything, possibly due to it not working correct with this. I don't know if this is a bug so I'm asking here first.
I have tried apt-get install, upgrade, dist-upgrade, clean, autoremove + combos of previous - everything I could think of.
