That's what I thought. Years ago the OP might have added something to the
sources.list like

deb http://ftp.uni-kl.de/debian-multimedia/ stable main

Unfortunately now stable points to buster (debian 10).
Changing this to something like

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org stretch main

might help.

You might want to try `aptitude` instead of `apt`: it will try to offer
ways to fix the problem (by removing package).
The solutions it offers can sometimes take a long time to come up
(because it performs a search through a large search tree), and it may
have effects you won't like, so carefully review the solutions proposed.

There we have it.

You have added a debian-multimedia (dmo) source intended to be used
with Debian 10 (deb10).

This is incompatible with Debian 9.

You'll want to remove the inappropriate sources, as I said in my original
reply.  Then purge any and all packages that contain "deb10" in their
version strings.

That may not cure *everything* but it's a start.

This is a really powerful indicator that you've mixed sources which
are either from, or for, different Debian releases.  Or mixed Debian
sources and non-Debian sources.

The "libc6 (>= 2.27)" dependency is identical to the libc6 dependency
on the *buster* (Debian 10) version of libavcodec58.  (Which is a
package that does not even exist in Debian 9.)  So, it looks like you've
either got a buster (Debian 10) source, or you've got some third-party
source that was meant to be used with Debian 10.

You can't use Debian 10 sources on Debian 9.


this really seems to be the clue, however: how do I get

1. information on the installed packages?

2. repair my situation - I cannot go to Debian 10 right now (I posted 
the reason somewhere here - mouse ist awfully slow and jumpy))

yes I know, however I am running a rather old machine (TX 100 S1 from 
Fujitsu) and already tried to install Debian 10 which made my 
mouse-pointer awfully slow and "jumpy" ... therefore I stay with Debian 
9 - however I try moving with the Debian 10 - trial-disk - but at a

I have a theory that they tried to add buster sources (or
buster-backports, or some third-party repository meant for buster)
because they wanted newer stuff than was available in stretch or
stretch-backports.  Frankendebian ensued.

I am sorry - however I posted a rather long "strange" stuff here. I

This is not the current stable release.  You may wish to *consider*
upgrading, as running older releases tends to be incompatible with
the desire to install recent versions of web browsers, video players,
and other large and complicated packages.

For the purpose of posting to debian-user, you may wish to switch your
locale temporarily to English.  Since you're using a shell with root
privileges, the simplest way would probably be to run the command

export LANG=C

before your apt commands.  The LANG setting will go away when you exit
from the root shell.

These dependencies are *not* correct for a Debian 9 installation.

According to  the dependencies
should be   libavcodec57 (>= 7:3.2.14)   and so on.

This means you've probably got repositories other than the stretch
(Debian 9) sources, and these are causing a conflict.

If this were my system, I would first remove all of the non-Debian-9
sources and run "apt-get update".  If ffmpeg still can't be installed
after that, then it's possible you have already installed some of the
dependencies from non-Debian-9 sources, and you may need to remove
those.  This could cascade into a full disaster if you're unlucky.  This
is why we normally recommend against mixing sources from multiple Debian
versions, or using sketchy outside sources.

Need help with ffmpeg installation - strange behaviour of my system - am I correct here?

Hello - I tried to install ffmpeg (a normal Debian package) and got some 
strange messages. the ffmpeg-group adviced me to go to a Debian group. I 
hope I am correct here in this group.
