In Synaptic Package Manger I get this error: E: libavformat52: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2 E: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured

In terminal I get this error: Errors were encountered while processing: libavformat52 gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

My Firefox runs horrible and I think the above could be related. Firefox is slow and freezes so much it's virtually impossible to use. What I would like to do is remove every component of it, and all these codecs and start fresh, but I don't know how. I really don't know much about terminal, so please consider that when giving advice. I have a few add-ons in Firefox like Session Manger, IM Translator, and Scrapebook, (although it is uninstalled now)

I thought maybe an upgrade would help so yesterday I went from 9.0.4 Ubuntu to 10.04...I did a clean install from a CD and reformatted my root folder. I did try Ubuntu9.10 some months ago, but had tons of trouble with the graphics card resolution.

My computer is a desktop Acer AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+, GeForce 6100 nForce 405, MCP61 High Definition Audio, 1G Memory DDR2

Not totally sure what your problem is. Just try this:

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10 gstreamer0.10-bad gstreamer0.10-ugly gstreamer0.10-good  gstreamer0.10-base gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg

That should reinstall all your codecs and whatnot.

Sorry if this doesn't help

get hint from http://forum.audacityteam.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=10905 and go to https://help.ubuntu.com and search for info on what you want to know about how to do the desired task (e.g. enable the medibuntu repositories in the /etc/apt/sources.list file)

use with care: apt-get purge (pkg name) in terminal to get rid of undesired pkg completely

use apt-get build-dep (pkg name) to build dependencies around a desired pkg

before using apt-get install -f (pkg name) to install the desired pkg

Use apt-get update after the purge and before the build-dep commands
