faac-1.25-0.pm.3.i586[links2packman] provides faac ==

1.25-0.pm.3, but has another architecture.

I did what you said, installed faac with Zen.
After that the Zen updater asked whether ffmpeg should be installed, and as I said OK, he was happy with everything.

I think we have two problems here:

1. Zen can't properly handle dependencies.
2. The dependencies are falsely written in these packages.

I'm not sure, though :)
