Is it simply that you don't have the universe/multiverse repositories enabled in your /etc/apt/sources.lst certainly libdvdnav and libtwolame belong in there because they are potentially patent encumbered.
If this is the case then once enabling them you will need to run apt-get update to refresh the list of available packages.
Or you can do this from synaptic via settings/repositories
Thanks, Wayne. Maybe you can help me get over the stile here. universe/multiverse did not come up in the available repositories under synaptic, so presumably I need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list myself. But I'm not sure of how to format this. As an example, I have lines like
deb http://security.debian.org/ etch/updates main deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
therein. What should the line[s] be to add universe/multiverse?
With thanks, Ted.
