	After contemplation, my reply is:

I'm on a different machine now, at a different place when sending this.

I only ever use apt-get for updates, upgrades, installs and purges.

But before I left that machine I attempted your excellent suggestion
and received this error message:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libswresample2 : Depends: libavutil55 (>= 10:3.1.2) but 7:3.2-2 is to
be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be
caused by held packages.

I assume that I might have missed a bug report on a update/upgrade? So
I will just have to purge libswresample2, and libavutil55 (>= 10:3.1.2)

Thank you for your help.
Charlie
