[Solved] Had to enable 'testing' repo to install mate, mate-extra

I just did a fresh Arch32 install and I was unable to install all of the packages required to add 'mate & mate-extra'. A dependency for 'ffmpeg' (libvpx.so=5-32) was missing, which in turn made 5 other required dependencies unavailable.

I ended up enabling the 'testing' repo in pacman.conf, and then I re-ran 'pacman -S mate mate-extra' and everything ended up working.

I am not exactly sure which dependency it ended up using in place of libvpx.so=5-32, but it works for now.. The only problem I came across is being unable to install VLC media player- when I tried it told me that I would break a dependency needed for ffmpeg.

There are issues with ffmpeg upgrade as you can see here. I think mate and mate-extra could have ffmpeg as dependency, however, the devs should be trying to solve this ffmpeg issue in testing branch.
