I do. (I think).

Or you don't have all the necessary apt repos enabled.

 From the look of what failed, you don't have FreshRPMs included as an 
apt package repo, which you must have. FreshRPMs and ATrpms are 
complimentary, and some of what you're installing depends on packages 
that need to be pulled from ATrpms. Did you have apt on your machine 
already before starting the install, or are you starting fresh, with 
apt installed via atrpms-kickstart?

They are actually now available in the at-bleeding channel from ATrpms. 
We're doing a bit of testing to make sure they work as expected before 
pushing them into the main channel. I'm running them right now. Axel is 
trying them with some slightly different default build options (native 
lirc, alsa and xvmc), so we want to try them on a few different configs 
to see if we break anyone before unleashing them on the public. :)

Yep, it wants to grab lirc from FreshRPMs. That makes me certain you 
don't have all the right repos set up. You're not the first to have 
this happen, so I wonder if Axel made a change to the atrpms-kickstart, 
and accidentally left freshrpms off the list...
