No one can help me with this? :(

Made some research and found that I have problems on the, already 
installed, dependencies for libav-tools.

This is the output when I try to install the gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg 
package:
gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg:
 Depende: libavcodec53 pero no va a ser instalado o
 	libavcodec-extra-53 (<5:0) pero se va a instalar 
6:0.10.4.0ubuntu0jon2.2

This shows that I have a newer version of the libavcodec* installed.
This isn't the only problematic package, all the packages that 
libav-tools depends on give me trouble too. All the packages mentioned 
here [1]

So apparently I need to uninstall all those packages, or roll them back 
to that previous version, then uninstall the ppa and then see what 
happens.

Can you tell me a way to do that in a streamlined way? I don't to go 
package by package to do just that...
