Now I'm getting this:

node1:/home/joehill# dpkg -i gstreamer0.10-plugins-good_0.10.30-1_i386.deb
dpkg: considering removing gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad in favour of
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good ...
dpkg: no, cannot proceed with removal of gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
(--auto-deconfigure will help):
 libcheese1 depends on gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
  gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad is to be removed.
dpkg: regarding gstreamer0.10-plugins-good_0.10.30-1_i386.deb
containing gstreamer0.10-plugins-good:
 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good conflicts with gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad
(<< 0.10.21.2)
  gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad (version 0.10.19-2.1) is present and installed.
dpkg: error processing gstreamer0.10-plugins-good_0.10.30-1_i386.deb
(--install):
 conflicting packages - not installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-good
Errors were encountered while processing:
 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good_0.10.30-1_i386.deb

So I tried installing the newer version of plugins-bad:

(Reading database ... 315313 files and directories currently installed.)

dpkg-deb: error: subprocess paste was killed by signal (Broken pipe)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad_0.10.22-3_i386.deb

So then I tried the suggested --auto-deconfigure:

node1:/home/joehill# dpkg -i --auto-deconfigure
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good_0.10.30-1_i386.deb
dpkg: considering removing gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad in favour of

dpkg: yes, will remove gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad in favour of
gstreamer0.10-plugins-good.

I'm now hung up on the 'gstreamer-plugins-really-bad', which also
wants to take most of gnome with it.
