It seems emerald is no longer in http://frickelplatz.de/debian/

Code: Select all
% apv frickelplatz-keyrings
frickelplatz-keyrings:
  Installed: 2009.03.23
  Candidate: 2009.03.23
  Version table:
 *** 2009.03.23 0
        500 http://frickelplatz.de/debian/ sid/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

% aptitude search emerald
# (no results)

=========================

There is a really stupid bug in the latest version of the extra plugins package that prevents you from installing it: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=617327

It tries to overwrite /usr/share/compiz/grid.xml which is also in compiz-core.

The solution:
Code: Select all
cp /usr/share/compiz/grid.xml /usr/share/compiz/grid.xml.orig
aptitude download -t experimental compiz-fusion-plugins-extra             
dpkg --force-overwrite -i compiz-fusion-plugins-extra*.deb
