OK, it looks like with the files being rearranged between the gstreamer
plugin packages (without the correct Replaces and Conflicts statements),
it may be simplest to download all of those together and install them
at once with a single dpkg -i command.
So if you get gstreamer-plugins-really-bad gstreamer-plugins-bad and
gstreamer-plugins-really-good with wget and install them at the same time,
that might solve the problem. Or it might find yet another gstreamer
plugin package that conflicts.
My system currently has:
ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad 0.10.22-3 GStreamer plugins from the "bad" set
ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-base 0.10.35-1 GStreamer plugins from the "base" set
ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-good 0.10.30-1 GStreamer plugins from the "good" set
ii gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly 0.10.18-3 GStreamer plugins from the "ugly" set
I don't have gstreamer0.10-plugins-really-bad.
