I'm CCing the list in the hope others might benefit.

The following method works for me to install Cinelerra on an Etch/i386
machine:

Edit /etc/apt/sources.list to read:

  deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian   stable         main
  deb http://security.debian.org/       stable/updates main
  deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian   testing        main
  deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org/ stable         main
  deb http://www.kiberpipa.org/~minmax/cinelerra/builds/pentium4/ ./

(Replace the UK mirror with your local one, and "pentium4" with
"athlonxp" if you have one).

Before Cinelerra will install we need to sidestep a dependency problem
with libfaad by telling apt we're prepared to take that package - and
only that package - from the testing archive, rather than stable.

Create an /etc/apt/preferences file as follows:

  Package: *
  Pin: release a=testing
  Pin-Priority: -100

  Package: libfaad*
  Pin: release a=testing
  Pin-Priority: 100


Now you can

 # aptitude update

 # aptitude install cinelerra


You'll get a warning that it wants to install libfaad0 and libfaad2-0
from testing in order to fix libquicktimehv.


I tested this just now in a chroot, but it might not work on your
particular system, and might break in the future when the Cinelerra
packages are updated or Sid, Lenny and Etch diverge further.


Cheers


Duncan
