Hi David,

For a while we merged deb-multimedia into devuan as part of a test of
amprolla - the tool that builds our merged mirror. We've discontinued
including deb-multimedia because it caused issues for some other users.

You can either add deb-multimedia to your sources or search and remove
the debian-multimedia packages and re-install the debian versions
instead to solve your problems.

Regards,
Daniel
