I understand your pain, but that's the price you pay for living at the 
bleeding edge :-) At the moment (at least for me) nautilus-media 
requirements are holding up the updates of sound-juicer, gstreamer and 
gnome-applets and IIRC rhythmbox. Usually these dependancy issues get 
resolved within a few days. But keep in mind that using the development 
tree, this is something that will happen again and again. Your 
alternative is to stick to the base and only do updates through the 
update channel. But where is the fun in that? :-)
