Thanks. Does not seem to me to be the best solution, though: if a package is 
masked, many users won't install it, so what's the absence of bug report 
indicating?

In my case, the funny thing is: DVDRIP is not masked and does not work. 
Acidrip is masked and works like a charm.

Let's hope that the blessing folks find out.
