Problems installing updates - Lenny

Hi all..... again!

This time my long time friend Lenny on my Laptop.
I was trying to install some updates. The updates downloaded ok and then started getting unpacked when I got a 100 result because some packages had unmet dependencies:

Depends: libavcodec51 (>= 0.svn20080206) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libavutil49 (>= 0.svn20080206) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libpostproc51 (>= 0.svn20080206) but it is not going to be installed

Then I did - apt-get install -f in a shell and got this -

/var/cache/apt/archives/libpostproc51_0.svn20080206-8_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

That's it! Now whatever I try to install gives me the same error. I suppose KPackage is just trying to complete the outstanding tasks.
How do I solve this?

Thanks for looking!

Update: the failed updates have now crippled my Video Playing programs..... WTF!!!!!
And I have been so good lately *sniff*

although i'm not as good as you, maybe hashing out some of your sources temporarily, update, fix dependencies & enable sources you disabled

Off Topic:

i may be wrong, but, the problem seems to say sources

BTW: i think we are all masochists

Edit: hash out the sources causing the problem
