Thanks for the reply.
The fink list command didn't find anything that fit your criteria for removal:

~ jim$ fink list -i libav libsw libpost ffmpeg-dev
Information about 10134 packages read in 1 seconds.
(i)  libavcodec51-sh  0.4.2007121  Audio/video encoders and decoders libs
(i)  libavdevice52-s  0.6.1-5      Audio/video device libs
(i)  libavformat52-s  0.6.1-5      Parsers and generators for all common aud...
(i)  libavutil49-shl  0.4.2007121  Audio/video utils libs
(i)  libswscale0-shl  0.6.1-5      Audio/video scaling libs

Unfortunately I don't have the output from just before the failed message.  
Maybe I'll try it again this evening and capture the context of the fail.

0.6.90 is just two days old and is just a point copy of the trunk.

Without knowing which dependencies are causing trouble (ie the immediate 
output that would provide context to this error message), it's hard to 
know what is causing the inconsistent state.  Though most likely it is 
the upgrading from the previous release.  Run the command 'fink list -i 
libav libsw libpost ffmpeg-dev' and remove any -dev packages that do NOT 
have a number in their name (ie remove libavformat-dev but keep 
libavformat52-dev if that's present instead).
