Hi all,
Is there an answer?
Where is the answer?
I'm new to having bugs.
Thank you
Chris.

This is a rarity for me too :) Which can only be to the credit of the people who maintain the system. My hat is tipped. The problem seems to be fixed (for me anyhow).

I noticed when I was trying to do other things it would complain about ffmpeg or xine (can't remember which). I ended up removing them and reinstalling them and haven't had the problem since. hope that helps

Thanks Brian, I was a little premature when I said that the problem was fixed. Just now I tried to install something and got the same message (once). After clicking on 'Check' to verify updates it went through just fine without the error message.
