 You can't exclude _installed_ packages, only available ones. It looks
like something wants to update libbfd to a version that isn't
compatible to what the installed versions of lame and ffmpeg want. If
you exclude libbfd it will point out what needs it.
 Also with 3.2.19-18 you can use --skip-broken to do the above
automatically.
