ok so i have recently upgraded about 4 systems
and kept having problems due to broken packages
every time i went aptitude install puredyne there was always some problem.
puredyne is a metapackage which points to lots of other packages that makes 
puredyne puredyne. if one of these has broken dependencies then it wont install 
properly - when i tried it yesterday - 3 packages had broken dependencies 
qsampler transcode and puredyne-processing.
i couldnt figure out how to force puredynt just to ignore these broken 
dependencies and do the best job it could.
as a work around i just did an aptitude install on all the packages except the 
broken ones

you can see what packages are in puredyne by typing 

aptitude show puredyne


i added all the packages listed here after 

aptitude install long list here

making sure to remove the three broken packages from the list

a attached a little script to this email which installs all the packages in the 
puredyne metapackage
you can remove any broken packages if you are having problems and at least you 
will have 99% of puredyne

its a hack but maybe will get you out of a hole until we figure out a better 
way of dealing with this problem of broken packages in debian testing

claude suggested a stable puredyne metapackage? how about that?

hope this helps
