    not able to install restricted extras

    When clicking install on restricted extras I get message (before installing must remove-Libav codec library and Libav utility library).
    This has me stumped. Anybody know what these are ???

    I believe that the Ubuntu restricted extras meta package has replacements for some of the libav components, these are the ones that you have seen being replaced or have been asked to remove.

    shady2; Hi !

    Let's take a look at what is going to happen, and we can then advise you explicitly:
    Post back the outputs of terminal codes:
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get upgrade
    sudo apt-get install -s ubuntu-restricted-extras
    Where the '-s' = Simulate.
    We will have a much better idea of what is and what will be.

    all in the process
