no not really.

that's because the pd-extended deb is *really* for build for wheezy.
(and only incidentally made available for newer distributions, like jessie)

- downgrade your system to Debian/wheezy?
- use one of the "nightly" builds for jessie [1] (which are *not* a
proper release, but are just a snapshot of the repository whenever the
build happened).
- don't use Pd-extended as it is unsupported and dead.


the only "fix" i could offer is to completely remove the
http://apt.puredata.info/releases/dists/jessie/ directory.
