By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Vanessa Ezekowitz 2009-04-27 20:01:09 CDT 
libk3b3-extracodecs-kde3 is needed to provide support for MP3 and other formats in K3B, but it can't be installed because it depends on libavcodec51, which does not exist for Jaunty:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libk3b3-extracodecs-kde3: Depends: libavcodec51 (>= 3:0.svn20080206-8) but it is not installable or
                                     libavcodec-unstripped-51 (>= 3:0.svn20080206-8) but it is not installable
E: Broken packages

There is a 'libavcodec52' in the repository, along with its '-unstripped-' counterpart.

Fixed and tested working with an MP3 file.

Thanks for reporting!

My end still won't install the libk3b3-... package, but the error it is reporting has changed:

What does this obscure message mean?

My system says that it uses libavcodec52 (not 51) because of the presence of MythTV.  Could this be the culprit?  Perhaps libk3b3-... should be allowed to use any version of libavcodec (51 and up that is)?
