I tried to install the package to get m4a support. This happened while Rhythmbox was open and playing (don't know if this is relevant).
After Synaptec finished downloading the package and started to install it it stopped, didn't respond, didn't close until I had to restart my computer. After that I wanted to remove it and got the message stated in the Summary.

Thanks,
Omri

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS

I forgot to mention that it caused Rhythmbox to stop responding when I open it, and it still does not.
I will try to remove the package now that it's successfully installed and see what happens.
