Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  gstreamer-universe: Depends: gstreamer-a52dec (>= 0.6.0) but it is not
going to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

I'd like to add a 'me too' here. I'm using rh 8.0 and I'm trying to
install rhythmbox.

bash-2.05b$ sudo apt-get install rhythmbox

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

It appears to be looking for gstreamer-0.4.2, which is not available.
This also means (amongst many other things) I can't build the
monkey-media source rpms.

Hey both of you,

my guess is simply you installed a52dec from freshrpms.  If you remove
it and install the one from our repo, it should work.  In the future
(ie as soon as I find some spare time left to do that) I will work
with matthias to resolve these issues so we can fix this.

As for rhythmbox, development is a little hairy atm, I'm not sure
which version I'm supposed to be packaging :)
