btw, a cool trick to report output on systems with "foreign" languages
is to force your system to output in english.

this can be done quite simply on the console, by setting the environment
variable "LANG" to "C".

$ LANG=C aptitude install libgmerlin-avdec0

or

$ LANG=C synaptics


this avoids the problem of having to translate messages _back_ to
english, which often results in not-identical phrasing, which makes
finding the problem more complicated.

PS: as for the problem itself, i cannot offer any help here. since
romans packages are reasonably recent and made explicitely for ubuntu,
what is wrong with them?

PPS: ubuntu sucks anyhow :-)
