Hello all. I think this one is simple. I followed the advice on repositories and new backports. sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list took out mirrormax added ubuntu. Did a sudo apt-get update. and sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins failed.
grimmson@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavail able)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another proc ess using it?
grimmson@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-plugins

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
gstreamer0.8-plugins: Depends: gstreamer0.8-a52dec but it is not going to be i nstalled
Depends: gstreamer0.8-aa but it is not installable
Depends: gstreamer0.8-artsd but it is not installable

This means gstreamer0.8-plugins didn't install, correct? It seams some /several media codecs aren't installable? Since I might have messed up sources can someone have a look and let me know whats going wrong. I have 5.04 w all ubuntu updates. Thanks.
