Yup, not all the _latest_ version of the packages. Maybe the version
in your DVD repo wasnt the latest, so the Package Management was
trying to fetch and install the latest one.
apt-cache policy <package-name> is a very useful command to see
versions of the packages in the various repos and which one will be
fetched or is already installed.

dvd menu navigation lib, hmmm dont know how come vlc barfed about this
package.
