I forgot to say, I'm using the 64 bit version of 64 Studio 2.1. I
installed 2.0 and then upgraded to 2.1.

$sudo dpkg -l | grep "ardour"

2.0.3-2~bpo.1

$sudo dpkg -l | grep "blender"

2.42a-4.64studio1

$sudo dpkg -l | grep "aeolus"

0.6.6+2-4~bpo.1

When I do apt-cache show ardour, I see:

Version: 1:2.4.1-1~etch1
Conflicts: ardour-gtk

I just wanted to clarify. If you just use apt or if you just use
synaptic, there is no problem. The problem apparently happens when you
switch from using synaptic to apt. I'm really sorry, I don't have any
more details. I think my friend was going to file a bug report.

Cheers!
