How did you resolve things at your end?
Just to follow-up... I resolved the issue by downgrading packages, allowing aptitude to un-install others, then re-installing by running the following commands in sequence: sudo aptitude install libavcodec52=4:0.5+svn20090706-2+b1 libavformat52=4:0.5+svn20090706-2+b1 sudo aptitude install libavfilter0 sudo aptitude install libavdevice52=4:0.5+svn20090706-2+b1 sudo aptitude install libpostproc51=4:0.5+svn20090706-2+b1 libswscale0=4:0.5+svn20090706-2+b1 sudo aptitude install ffmpeg=4:0.5+svn20090706-2+b1 So I now have the ffmpeg + dependencies installed from the Debian archives. -- Daniel Armstrong http://wooush.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
