GNOME media utilities 2.91.2 is older than the current packaged version. Launchpad may be missing release information for the main series or this package is linked to the wrong GNOME media utilities series.

This is a bug present in 13.04, 13.10, gnome stable as well as staging ppas. It's utterly silly and makes a whole program unusable, please stop playing the triage and blame game and start debugging this.

- Triaging is what the Ubuntu Bug Control team is intended for.
- Developers usually choose to only work in bugs that have been triaged.

Any ideas what an average user can do to help solving this?

I reported this bug on the upstream bugzilla.

Žygimantas, the remaining work for the moment is a developer to patch the bug.
