Apologies Chris, I had no idea this was the case, and won't do it again
if you please tell me what other third party repositories there are?

I think anything to do with firefox is one, any others? I think google
chrome is probably one. I use chromium, got that from Debian I think? I
hope?

Any others not to mention on this list would be good to know.

Thanks,
Charlie

Don't you think this is a bit harsh? I'm glad that Debian proper is
catching up[1], but those packages have been very useful to the Debian
community and Christian Marillat is a Debian Developer.

[1] the only package I still have from dmo is deadbeaf

Kind regards,
Andrei

It certainly sounds a bit harsh, and maybe could have been worded
better. If you report a bug using reportbug and have the
www.deb-multimedia.org repository enabled you won't get much help.

You could post any problems with 3rd party repositories to:

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic

But I feel you'd be better off approaching the source of the problem.

To test if it *is* a 3rd party problem: comment it out and if the
problem goes away then it is a 3rd party problem.
