Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ffmpeg
I have Ubuntu 8.04, 64 bit edition. Normally, any unix program should
return 0 when it finished without errors. But when I run "ffmpeg
-version", return code is 1. Similar, when I run "ffmpeg -formats" it
also return 1. This bug is fixed in latest svn version and in Ubuntu
9.04.

Description: multimedia player, server and encoder
This package contains the ffplay multimedia player, the ffserver streaming
server and the ffmpeg audio and video encoder. They support most existing file
formats (AVI, MPEG, OGG, Matroska, ASF...) and encoding formats (MPEG, DivX,
MPEG4, AC3, DV...).

Looking to the source code of ffmpeg (that I get with apt-src) I found , that
the problem is in show_version() and similar info functions. They print
necessary information and than there is "exit(1)". It is very easy to fix this
bug!
