OK.  (Thanks for providing the necessary info)

'Scuse me for asking, but does demudi/devel require stable, testing or
unstable?

Which one?  Can any of us help you?  (Probably not; but I've downloaded
modules from other users before now to get something esoteric going.)

If you *really* want to do this --
first, you must purge all the stuff you've just added from demudi/devel.

     dpkg --purge <packagenames>

Then comment out the relevant line(s) in your /etc/apt/sources.list and
re-install whatever it was you had before.

Should do.  (As long as devel versions have been blown away)

Haven't ever run either (I don't do music -- sorry); the person we
really need here is Coops -- but he's half-way up the Andes at the
moment, and probably ignoring all LUGoG mails.

Let us know how you get on.
