Q1) Do I look for newer versions or change my settings?

The syntax I was lacking was this:

sudo apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change

, along with:

sudo apt-get upgrade -y && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y && sudo apt-get autoremove

and then this command just chugs away...

sudo apt-get install wiringpi cpanminus libperl-dev libgdbm-dev libdb-
+dev libgstreamer1.0-dev gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugin
+s-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gobject-introspection gir1.2-gst-plu
+gins-bad-1.0 gstreamer1.0-tools gir1.2-gst-plugins-base-1.0 gir1.2-gs
+treamer-1.0 libglib-object-introspection-perl autoconf automake libto
+ol pkg-config libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev libraspberrypi-dev git
+ opencv-data

Then to complete the "Hurry Up and Wait" chapter of stevieb's guide for rpi's:

 
cd gst-rpicamsrc
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/
make
sudo make install

[download]

These commands seem to be successful, with the results being a whole bunch of .so files:

$ cd /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gstreamer-1.0
$ ls
include                      libgstmodplug.so
libgst1394.so                libgstmonoscope.so
libgsta52dec.so              libgstmpeg2dec.so
...
libgstmidi.so                libgstzbar.so
libgstmms.so
$

Thanks all for comments. Also, let me repost haukex's very useful guide to configuring rpi's. More on this topic at Re: CPAN 2.29 stuck with Net::SSLeay.
