FWIW, "apt-cache show rtmpdump" output from oneiric -

Ubuntu repo:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), librtmp0 (>= 2.3)

PPA repo:

Depends: libc6 (>= 2.4), librtmp0

The version constraint for librtmp0 seems to have gone AWOL, which 
presumably explains why the package isn't upgraded.  Maybe something has 
gone awry with whatever black magic calculates shared library dependencies?
