Which will come up empty because w32codecs is of dubious legality in
most jurisdictions. See
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats

Those who live in sane jurisdictions and those who don't care are best
off with the PLF repositories, see here http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/doc/plf
The GPG key for package authentication can be downloaded here
http://plf.zarb.org/packages.php Then add it in menu
System/Administration/Software Properties on the tab Authentication
