Hi,
I am trying to follow your guide but I hit a wall with installing -dev packages :/ , what I get:
[…]
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
libaacplus-dev : Depends: libaacplus2 (= 2.0.2-0.3) but it is not going to be installed
libfaac-dev : Depends: libfaac0 (= 1:1.28-0.8) but it is not going to be installed
libmp3lame-dev : Depends: libmp3lame0 (= 1:3.99.5-0.0) but it is not going to be installed
libx264-dev : Depends: libx264-122 (= 3:0.122.2184+git5c85e0a-0.0) but it is not going to be installed
libxvidcore-dev : Depends: libxvidcore4 (= 3:1.3.2-0.4) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages
So my next was to install them but, again… I hit a wall :( :
saper@debian-a64:~$ sudo apt-get -f install libaacplus2 libfaac0 libmp3lame0 libx264-122 libxvidcore4
Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
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:
libaacplus2 : PreDepends: multiarch-support but it is not installable
libfaac0 : PreDepends: multiarch-support but it is not installable
libmp3lame0 : PreDepends: multiarch-support but it is not installable
libx264-122 : PreDepends: multiarch-support but it is not installable

I tried digging in google for “multiarch-support” but no luck… Can you help?
Hi Saper,
How does your /etc/apt/sources.list look like?
I forgot to add:
saper@debian-a64:~$ uname -a
