You probably updated right in the middle of a change...

Not all packages have finished recompiling unfortunately
In the mean time, to keep the existing packages working with the new
libvdpau, simply manually install libvdpau0

Now there is no need to have the release vs testing repository.
Release is all you need and you can use whichever nvidia driver you
want (180.60, 185.18.36 or 190.36) for both the 0.21-fixes and
0.22/trunk packages.

I slightly broke the compatibility with ubuntu/mythbuntu default
packages , but I believe the changes are worth it ... no more
dependency on specific nvidia drivers.
