Greetings,

I finally solved my problems with apt thanks to Gauvain Pocentek on the Launchpad bug forums. I ran

sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/info/lilypond-data.post*

Removing that file did the trick.

However, I can't play anything but some MP3's and movies I have downloaded, and some video on www.big-picture.tv . The various apps start up when I click on a media link, but so far I either get error messages or nothing at all. I can download MP3's and play them, but nothing streams.

It seemed to have trouble retrieving from the install CD; I got "cannot stat" messages that referenced the CD.
I'd like to see a URL that you can play so I can try it and report the exact error messages or other behavior.
