Hi,

   I am trying to install vlc and I get this error

I cannot understand why libpostproc55 will need a older version of 
libavutil56.  My sources.list is this

> deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free
> deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main

> deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main

I also have these two rules in preferences.d/multimedia as in the past I 
had issues with same packages in both deb-multimedia and debian regular 
when I was told these rules will help.
> Package: *
> Pin: release o=Unofficial Multimedia Packages,n=bullseye

Any help appreciated.

Ramesh
