Hi guys, I'm still learning how to do things properly when it comes to packaging shared libraries, please bare with me.
To make a long story short, ffmpeg support in SoX has been mostly broken (upstream) for a while now and no one seems to care anymore [1]. The issue has been often time discussed upstream and thus it's scheduled for deprication. Answering to bug #693642 [2], I've uploaded sox (14.4.0-4) with disabled ffmpeg support to experimental. In what seems to be in retrospect a misstep, I've uploaded a version of sox (14.4.0-5) to fix #676167 [3] but that also has disabled ffmpeg. I moved ahead as looking at the reverse dependencies, I did not see any package that explicitely depended on libsox-fmt-ffmpeg. I also think that if any package indirectly depends on libsox-fmt-ffmpeg via libsox-fmt-all, it must already be broken as, again, the ffmpeg support in SoX is oh so very broken. Now, looking at the excuses [4] it seems I should have done something special to get rid of libsox-fmt-ffmpeg. How do I properly get rid of libsox-fmt-ffmpeg ?
