Next I would check ('locate') and remove each one of the remaining
185.18.31 items, checklisting that nothing not on the list is removed as
a dependency.
I am not sure, but some of the 185.18.31 files above look like they may
not be video files but used by something else like gstreamer-bad or ugly
so make sure they are all removed and replaced by 185.18.14.
